Pop superstar Pharrell Williams is scheduled to perform with a gospel choir on Sunday at the South Carolina church where nine black parishioners were shot and killed.
Multiple news outlets report that Williams’ appearance at Emanuel AME Church is part of a programme on race relations being produced by A&E Networks and iHeartMedia.
Williams plans to speak with community leaders and others affected by the June 17 shooting at the church.
The two-hour Shining a Light: A Concert for Progress on Race in America programme is scheduled to air November 20. It will also feature a concert to be filmed on November 18 in Los Angeles.
A goal of the programme is to raise money for the victims of racial violence and for organisations around the country working to promote racial equity.
