WATCH: 23 stars describe '23 ways you could be killed if you are black in America'

New York — Alicia Keys and a host of other stars, including Beyoncé, Bono, Rihanna, Taraji P. Henson and Chris Rock, appear in a powerful video released on Wednesday that describes "23 ways you could be killed if you are black in America."

The video made in aid of We Are Here Movement made the social media rounds after its release on Mic.com, spawning its own hashtag, #23Ways, and thousands of shares and comments.

In black and white, it juxtaposes 23 artists with photos of 23 black victims of violence, with each star noting the acts that led to their deaths, mainly after interactions with the police.

Many of the deaths led to intense anger and frustration among African Americans, and kicked off protests that led to the Black Lives Matter movement.
