Rev. Robert Lee IV had denounced racism on stage at the VMAs, prompting some members of his North Carolina church to take exception to his words. “A faction of church members were concerned about my speech and that I lifted up Black Lives Matter movement, the Women’s March, and Heather Heyer as examples of racial justice work," Lee wrote in a letter announcing his decision.
