That’s why Rosa sat on the bus / That’s why we walk through Ferguson with our hands up / When it go down we woman and man up / They say, ‘Stay down,’ and we stand up
I truly appreciate celebrities such as John Legend and Common who use their platforms to make bold statements. This song, and the movie 'Selma' to be quite honest with you, has come at the perfect time. The racial tension in America is at an all time high following the blows of several injustices strewn our way in recent months. That's only the tip of the iceberg. An African American is killed by the police every 28 hours. EVERY. 28. HOURS. I can go on and on so I'll have to address that in a different post...at any rate, listen to "Glory" below and remember THE MOVEMENT LIVES!!! #BlackLivesMatter
Now the war is not over, victory isn’t won/And we’ll fight on to the finish, then when it’s all done/We’ll cry glory, oh glory/We’ll cry glory, oh glory
