I Am A Slave

The Roots did a Schoolhouse Rock-style song about slavery for the show Black-ish. It was part of the musical season four premiere entitled "Juneteenth." There are a couple of other numbers from the show online. One is called "We Built This." The other, called "Freedom," is a joyful anthem about the high hopes slaves had about their impending freedom. But if you listen closely, you realize that many those things took another hundred years (and more bloodshed) to achieve. (via Metafilter)
