I've been listening to this BLM "anthem" all day. I think it's stunningly powerful.
Something about the simple insistence that the names of the victims of police brutality not be forgotten, and the anguish in the voices, just gets to me.
I'm asking y'all not to overthink or read anything else into it. Just to listen. I'm hardly one to speak for anybody, but I think that's what BLM wants first. For people just to listen.
