The nation is exploding in coast-to-coast protests in the wake of the recent killings of unarmed black men and a 12-year-old boy by white police. Of great concern as well is the failure of two grand juries to indict the officers involved with two of those recent deaths.
Samuel L. Jackson has taken to Facebook to express his discouragement with violence of the racist police, posting a short selfie calling out celebrities to join him in singing the We Ain’t Gonna Stop, ’till People Are Free song.
At the beginning of the clip, Jackson states “All you celebrities out there who poured ice water on your head, here’s a chance to do something else. I challenge all of you to sing the We Ain’t Gonna Stop, ’till People Are Free song. Here we go…” before launching into the song.
LYRICS:
I can hear my neighbor cryin’ ‘I can’t breathe’
“Callin’ out the violence of the racist police.”Now I’m in the struggle and I can’t leave.
Callin’ out the violence of the racist police.
We ain’t gonna stop, till people are free.
We ain’t gonna stop, till people are free.
Jackson concludes by telling viewers: “Come on. Sing it out.”
