Common and John Legend: “Glory”
The movie Selma came out on the 50th Anniversary of the Selma voting rights struggle, just as the Black Lives Matter was becoming the new face of the struggle for racial justice. Glory
captures both these moments in a way that calls people forward.
J. Cole: Be Free
Raw, agonized, simple, and clear—can’t say it any plainer than this.
Alicia Keys: We Gotta Pray
Praying and demonstrating—a great combination in civil rights history.
