Glory (From the Motion Picture "Selma") - Common & John Legend
The movie soundtrack : “Glory” by John Legend featuring Common
“Glory”
“Glory”
One day, when the glory comes
It will be ours, it will be ours
Oh, one day, when the war is won
We will be sure, we will be here sure
Oh, glory, glory
Oh, glory, glory
Hands to the Heavens, no man, no weapon
Formed against, yes glory is destined
Every day women and men become legends
Sins that go against our skin become blessings
The movement is a rhythm to us
Freedom is like religion to us
Justice is juxtaposition in us
Justice for all just ain’t specific enough
One son died, his spirit is revisitin’ us
True and living living in us, resistance is us
That’s why Rosa sat on the bus
That’s why we walked through Ferguson with our hands up
When it go down we woman and man up
They say, “Stay down” and we stand up
Shots, we on the ground, the camera panned up
King pointed to the mountain top and we ran up
It will be ours, it will be ours
Oh, one day, when the war is won
We will be sure, we will be here sure
Oh, glory, glory
Oh, glory, glory
Hands to the Heavens, no man, no weapon
Formed against, yes glory is destined
Every day women and men become legends
Sins that go against our skin become blessings
The movement is a rhythm to us
Freedom is like religion to us
Justice is juxtaposition in us

Oh, one day, when the war is won
We will be sure, we will be here sure
Oh, glory, glory
Oh, glory, glory glory
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
Selma is now for every man, woman and child
Even Jesus got his crown in front of a crowd
They marched with the torch, we gon’ run with it now
Never look back, we done gone hundreds of miles
From dark roads he rose, to become a hero
Facin’ the league of justice, his power was the people
Enemy is lethal, a king became regal
Saw the face of Jim Crow under a bald eagle
The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful
We sing, our music is the cuts that we bleed through
It will be ours, it will be ours
Oh, one day, when the war is won
We will be sure, we will be here sure
Oh, glory, glory
Oh, glory, glory glory
Now the war is not over

Facin’ the league of justice, his power was the people
Enemy is lethal, a king became regal
Saw the face of Jim Crow under a bald eagle
The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful
We sing, our music is the cuts that we bleed through
Somewhere in the dream we had an epiphany
Now we right the wrongs in history
No one can win the war individually
It takes the wisdom of the elders and young people’s energy
Welcome to the story we call victory
The coming of the Lord, my eyes have seen the glory
One day, when the glory comes
It will be ours, it will be ours
Oh, one day, when the war is won
We will be sure, we will be here sure
Oh, glory, glory
Oh, glory, glory glory
When the war is done, when it’s all said and done
We’ll cry glory, oh glory
“Glory” was written by Stephens, John Roger / Lynn, Lonnie

1eres S_ES : SELMA
1° TRAILER http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/culturevideo/filmvideo/cinema-trailers/11271552/selma-trailer-martin-luther-king-jr-oprah-David-Oyelowo.html
Selma trailer: the story of Martin Luther King Jr
Watch British actor David Oyelowo's portrayal of Martin Luther King Jr in the Oscar-tipped Civil Rights drama, co-starring Oprah Winfrey and Tom Wilkinson
Selma is the story of Americans' journey towards civil rights, led by Martin Luther King Jr. The film
has a cast of largely British stars, including David Oyelowo as Luther
King Jr and Tom Wilkinson as Lyndon B Johnson, as well as Tim Roth,
Martin Sheen and Carmen Ejogo. Oprah Winfrey plays civil rights activist
Annie Lee Cooper, and is also credited as producer.
The film focuses on the epic 54-mile civil rights marches from Selma to
Montgomery, Alabama in 1965, which played a significant role in
persuading President Johnson to introduce the Voting Rights Act. The
pivotal marches were marked by brutal police violence against the
peaceful protesters.
It's a
particularly topical story in the wake of recent police violence against
black citizens in Ferguson, Missouri, and the killings of Michael Brown
and Eric Garner, showing that race is still a critical political issue
in America. The film is already considered a frontrunner in next year's Oscars.

FREEDOM MARCH/ KING LEADS THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON In early 1965, Martin Luther King Jr.’s Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) made Selma, Alabama, the focus of its efforts to register black voters in the South. That March, protesters attempting to march from Selma to the state capital of Montgomery were met with violent resistance by state and local authorities. As the world watched, the protesters (under the protection of federalized National Guard troops) finally achieved their goal, walking around the clock for three days to reach Montgomery. The historic march, and King’s participation in it, greatly helped raise awareness of the difficulty faced by black voters in the South, and the need for a Voting Rights Act, passed later that year.

1eres ES-S : Gage - I Am Mike Brown
I Am Mike Brown
LYRICS:
Usually I might clown, but right now
This one’s for Mike Brown so pipe down.
We gotta stop all the rioting in the streets,
We ain’t doing nothing but proving we’re animals to police.
Another child dies, another mother cries,
Another neighborhood left with a whole bunch of whys,
Why did they pursue him, why oh why’d they have to shoot ’im,
But I don’t think that the answer is everybody lootin’.
But fuck that cop, he deserve state time.
They let Zimmerman off, this cop ain’t learned from Trayvon.
I’m just sitting here dropping a little tear of knowledge,
cause Mike Brown ain’t even get to see a day of college.
He would have started soon and there’s an empty seat in class.
All because of these demons hidin’ behind a badge,
So fuck that badge, fuck your protection,
And fuck that law carryin’ your weapons.
But some of these stores y’all lootin’ is black owned
I know it’s for a cause but some of them still got families at home.
It’s not a black and white thing, it’s about abusing the law.
I can’t imagine Dorian’s face when he saw Mike fall.
My tears wettin’ the page while I’m writin’ this,
I know you so in tune, if you not why are you fightin’ it,
Just let it go, just let your heart beat and never lose control,
And God rest his soul
‘Cause I am Mike Brown. I am Mike Brown. He represents us all,
We from a similar town
Walking the similar streets, we got similar police,
So how do I know I ain’t gonna end up under a similar sheet?
So I am Mike Brown
because I’m watching with my homie,
I’m just walking my block,
man er’body know me.
So I am Mike Brown, I am Mike Brown…
I’m Mike Brown, I am shot down
I am Larry Davis bleedin’ on my dingy cell
I am Angelo Clark, I am Oscar Grant
I Am Dante Price doin’ what you others can’t
I am Bo Morrison, Melvin Ba….(?)
I own the voices of these people cuz they all long gone.
Let’s go behind the badge fought behind the beat,
Behind the politics they wonder why we don’t trust police.
They wonder why we carry, carry knives on us
They look for drugs but shoot for anything they find on us,
I am just here sittin’ fightin’ for my life, kickin',
Someone dyin’ cuz police said I looked suspicious.
We all of these people in so many ways
I am Raymond Oyler left to die for two days
I just bought a new hoodie, guess I’m Trayvon
I am Duane Brown layin’ down tryin’ not to die
I suppose I feel my heart beat, and someone listen
And all you dealin’ with is maybe gonna lose your pension.
You might not notice this but this the new form of lynchin'.
I got my hands up but still I see that cop inchin’.
The mystery it is something that I’ll never know
Why they had to shoot him down, couldn’t just let him go,
The mystery it is I think I’ll never know
Why they had to shoot him down, couldn’t just let him go…

about the cultural aspects of protest. Asked about the relationship between music and civil unrest, Neal argued that the climate of today’s music industry makes it difficult for musicians with a political message to have a major impact on social movements.
“ is not necessarily a critique of them, but this is a generation of artists that are built around building brands. Brand can be controversial, just think about Kanye in this context, but your brand can’t be political in that kind of way. The political brand is seen as just that: a political brand. It doesn’t cross over.”
But last night, the tide changed when ‘I Am Mike Brown,’ penned and performed by G.A.G.E., leaked online. Unlike a Kanye West, known for his controversial commentary on social and political discourse, G.A.G.E. isn’t as famous, and is an unlikely character in an ongoing fight to understand Ferguson — and other instances like it. But he may be the voice we need to revamp political messaging in popular music.
