Jack White to Perform at Bernie Sanders' Detroit Rally

[Uncle Joe]

Jack White will return to his former high school Sunday to perform at Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders’ Detroit rally.

Sanders, along with U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, are set to speak at the Arena Gymnasium of Cass Technical High School, which counts White, a 1993 graduate, among its alumni.

Detroit-area activists will also appear at the rally to discuss economic, environmental and racial issues in the city.

The Sanders rally marks a rare partisan event for White, who has largely detached himself and his projects from political affiliation. One exception came prior to Donald Trump’s election as president, when White’s Third Man released shirts with the words “Icky Trump,” a play on the White Stripes’ Icky Thump.
