As I was posting links today I was reminded of a song from the past sung by various African-American female artists, and groups of note in hip-hop, pop and R&B music The song is called Freedom. It was re-recorded as the official theme song for the award winning film Panther. Panther is a 1995 film directed by Mario Van Peebles, from a screenplay adapted by his father Melvin Van Peebles... The film focuses on the rise and decline of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, known as the Black Panthers, during the era of Black Power and disenchantment with passive resistance as a tool in the civil rights movement. It explores the FBIs COINTELPRO program, which was a far-flung effort to track and disrupt African-American political movements. -Wikipedia The song was from 1994, the film is set in the 1960s during the civil rights movement and even though a lot has changed, a lot still hasnt. The sentiments expressed in this song and the film still apply today. Watch, Listen, Learn. https://youtube/watch?v=WQEnsvuyYh4
