Lovecraft Country: "Whitey on the Moon" Lyrics and Meaning | POPSUGAR Entertainment UK. Episode two of HBO's Lovecraft Country features Gil Scott-Heron's "Whitey on the Moon" — in fact, the episode itself is titled "Whitey's on the Moon.

" While Lovecraft Country takes place in the '50s, Scott-Heron's spoken word poem (and jazz song) first came out in 1970, right after the moon landing. Given that the series is a blend of sci-fi monsters and the horrors of Jim Crow segregation, the song choice certainly still makes sense. But what exactly is the history behind the song, and why was Scott-Heron so indignant about "Whitey on the Moon? " Let's take a look at the song and how it fits into America's social context during this turbulent era. Scott-Heron released his debut album, Small Talk at 125th and Lenox, in 1970. Perhaps the most well-known track from the record is "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.

" On side two, Scott-Heron also made waves with "Whitey on the Moon. " Read the full lyrics below: A rat done bit my sister Nell. (with Whitey on the moon) (Hm! Airmail special. Black Lives Matter Protests Around the World. Say It Loud: How Music Changes Society. Singer Stevie Wonder at a protest at a South African Embassy - Photo: Bettmann / Contributor / Getty Images Songs are such powerful things: they can reassure, soothe, inspire and educate us – and that’s just for starters. Perhaps one reason for this is because they are performed by real people, human failings and all, which is why reading lyrics on paper will never quite add up. Songs have always held a mirror to the world, reflecting the things going on around us, and, arguably, music changes society like no other artform.

Traditionally, songs were passed down through the generations by being sung, like oral histories. Come the 20th century, however, technological advances quickly made the world a much smaller place and, thanks to cheap, widely-available audio equipment, songs could suddenly be distributed on a much larger scale.

I holla and I bawl, (Ku Klux Klan) But dem naw let me go, now. (The Ku Klux Klan) To let me go was not dem intention. They say, one nigger the less, The better the show, Stand strong black man, take your blow. Bun dem! Taught a lesson not to walk alone, I was waiting for the Good, Samaritan, But, but, but, waiting was hopeless, it was all in vain, The Ku Klux Klan, (back again) I holla and I bawl, (Ku Klux Klan) Dem naw let me go, now.

(41) George Floyd death: What’s changed, 100 days later? - BBC News. Black Lives Matter Protests Around the World. Kneeling for His Rights. NFL American football star Colin Kaepernick brought attention to Black Lives Matter's protests about police brutality towards African Americans with his silent protests, kneeling instead of standing when "The Star-Spangled Banner" played before NFL games. Two years on, Kaepernick has been frozen out of the football league but has won two major human-rights awards for his actions, and is now fronting a new Nike advert.

Kaepernick started his protests at the beginning of the 2016-17 National Football League season. There had been a series of incidents in which African American men had died when stopped by the police, highlighted by Black Lives Matter and leading to mass demonstrations. American football is the most popular sport in the country and many players are African American. Matches start with the national anthem.

Players normally stand for the anthem. Other players joined his protest. At the end of the season, Kaepernick's contract wasn't renewed. Copyright(s) : 2018 Getty Images.

TDYN0332 FULL SUCCESS STORY T006 Black Lives Matter. Contenus audio de I Love English World, novembre 2020, n°332. His Life Mattered. Widespread protests have again broken out in the U.S.A. after the death of an African-American man in police custody. George Floyd, 46, was arrested in Minneapolis, Minnesota on 25 May on suspicion of passing forged money. During his arrest, a police officer knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes, despite Mr Floyd protesting that he couldn’t breathe. Videos of the incident sparked protests across the country. The officer, Derek Chauvin, has been charged with third-degree murder and three other officers dismissed.

“I Can’t Breathe” Floyd’s plea that he was being asphyxiated was a grim echo to another case: in 2014, in Staten Island, New York, Eric Garner asphyxiated in a police stranglehold after protesting eleven times that he couldn’t breathe. Protesters about the George Floyd killing have been using the slogan and hashtag “I can’t breathe” in demonstrations. There is an excellent comic report in TOPO magazine on the subject which could be very interesting for your pupils.

Kneeling for His Rights. Black Lives Matter Honoured. The Black Lives Matter movement has been awarded Sweden’s Olof Palme civil-rights prize, and has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The Olof Palme Prize was created in memory of the Swedish Prime minister and human-rights advocate who was assassinated in 1986. Its jury noted that although Black Lives Matter was founded in 2013, it “had its great national and international breakthrough in the summer of 2020, in connection with a number of cases of extreme brutality.” The protests after the death of George Floyd and the acquittal of the police officers who shot Breonna Taylor in particular, spread around the world, with millions joining protests. This, the foundation notes, “Illustrates that racism and racist violence is not just a problem in American society, but a global problem, including Sweden.” The award was accepted on 30 January by Patrisse Cullors, one of the three BLM co-founders. There have been more than 300 nominations for the prize by Norwegian politicians this year.

Seeking Justice for George Floyd. The death of George Floyd during an arrest in Minneapolis on 25 May 2020 sparked last summer’s wave of Black Lives Matter protests. The trial of the police officer who knelt on Floyd’s neck opened on 29 March in Minnesota. Police were called after George Floyd bought a packet of cigarettes in a convenience story. The shop assistant believed the $20 note Floyd used to pay was counterfeit, and asked him to return the cigarettes. When Floyd refused, the police were called. Four officers struggled to get the 1m90 suspect into a police car. He told them he was claustrophobic. Video footage of officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd for over eight minutes, while Floyd said 27 times that he couldn’t breathe, is central to the case.

Chauvin and his three fellow officers have all been fired by Minneapolis Police Department. Chauvin is charged with three separate counts, with prosecutors hoping they can obtain a conviction in the most serious, second-degree murder. Copyright(s) : Youtube. Youtube.
