"A melody that articulates the slogan-chant-battle cry that has dominated our airwaves and social spaces. Its intention is very clear, though the facts of it all remain shrouded in mystery. Is it an organization, a philosophy, a call to arms, a call for justice, or all of the above? Used and obscured by all sides to mean whatever they want it to mean, it has illuminated, excited, and exacerbated the multiple segregated fault lines that corrupt our way of life. Will this be a passing slogan used to patronize and move on? Or will it be a bloodless revolution, realized through the changing of the laws and mechanics that allow unarmed citizens to be slain by peace officers who lie beyond the arm of the same justice they are sworn to uphold?" - Wynton Marsalis
