Americans told at Live 8 Africans are equal too

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Americans at the Live 8 concert in Philadelphia on Saturday were told a simple message -- Africans are created equal too. 

The crowd of about 1 million watched a roster including Stevie Wonder, pop divas Destiny's Child and rapper Jay-Z on a stage set up on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and heard demands that rich countries such as the United States, Britain and Japan relieve African debts.
