The median salary at Walmart is $27,136.

Not lost on me that a black queer artist and a white country singer came together to sing a song about belonging.
America is starved for connection across divides and that performance shows how much music has the power to heal. #grammys#tracychapman
Award shows are tedious and crass, but the smile on Tracy Chapman’s face when the auditorium goes nuts for her before she takes everyone to school with no lip sync, no auto-tune and no in-ear monitors is a pretty sweet moment to capture live.
