I wish that commentary wasn't right smack in the middle of the song. Why couldn't it be before or after?

we need an artist like this now to say these things again, again, and again

Actually, this version is significantly different from what appears to be the most widely known version in which Nina sings "Alabama's got me so upset/Tennessee makes me lose my rest" etc. I added both versions, including this video & another video with my transcription of both versions to my Pancocojams blog. Google Two Versions of Nina Simone's Mississippi Song "pancocojams". Btw, my transcription of the widely known version is somewhat different than that found on most sites.

Thanks for posting this. It's rare that I listen to any songs that contain profanity, ut this song is an exception. I thought I knew this song but I never heard the beginning portion. This song is listed as # 67 in Time Out London's list of 100 Songs That Changed History. I don't know whether it changed history or not, but I know that it definitely articulates what I feel when I read or hear about another racial atrocity in Mississippi or wherever.
