Now the SHF has revealed the who’s who of stars who will present and/or perform at the June 9th event. Stars such as Jennifer Hudson, Jussie Smollett, and 70s group Sister Sledge are confirmed to appear, along with The B-52s, James Corden, Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff, Roger McGuinn, Marcus Mumford, Rachel Platten, and Jon Voight.
