The Grammy-winning rap group, which also includes members Will.i.am, apl.de.ap and Taboo, had multiplatinum hits with songs like "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling."

Just after 11 a.m. Wednesday a few dozen supporters are gathering and blasting the tunes of "Lean on Me" singer Bill Withers. Some smaller protests popped up around the city Wednesday morning, including at a Marriott hotel where a number of delegations are staying and the Comcast Center. Pro-Palestine protesters chanted "No more Israel." ___ 1:15 a.m. Bernie Sanders loyalists believe the Democratic Party could rupture over Hillary Clinton's nomination after a volatile night that saw Sanders delegates leave the party's national convention in Philadelphia to stage a sit-in at a media tent. Protesters are rejecting Sanders' call for unity, even after the Vermont senator declared Clinton the winner of the delegate count at Tuesday's convention. College student Cory James of Flint, Michigan, says a fundamental shift in American politics could be underway if the party splits. Thousands of activists have taken to the streets during the convention this week to support Sanders and his progressive agenda. Their critics fear they may inadvertently help Republican nominee Donald Trump. Tiara Willis, of Philadelphia, subscribes to the slogan, "I'm with her ... I guess." She calls Clinton, "the lesser of two evils."
