Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Lauryn Hill was performing her song "Black Rage" long before the protests in Ferguson, Missouri, began, but it's only now in the light of the protests that she's made public an old recording of the song.
It's eerie how well Hill's lyrics fit the situation and further prove how the shooting in Ferguson and the country's response reach far beyond Michael Brown.
"Black
rage is founded on draining and draining. Threatening your freedom to
stop your complaining," Hill sings, her farsighted words mirroring the
reality in Ferguson, where protests were met with "militarized" police and journalists were arrested.
