Civil Rights, freedom, slavery and imprisonment are all themes of the song recorded in 1990 and released as the title track of the Onset's "What Say You?" EP.
The video includes clips and edits of Rosa Parks, Dr Martin Luther King Jr., the Little Rock Nine and many other women and men who made sacrifices, with courage beyond my capability to imagine, in the struggle for equality.
I felt a need to link these images with the November 5th 2008 speech of President Barack Obama. As the song says, Rosa sat so Martin could walk, Martin walked so Barack could run.
What say you?
