Скачать или смотреть Song For Tamir

My high school after school students and I got together to learn an activist song in the last 45 minutes of instruction of 2018-2019 school year!

This is "Song for Tamir", by the Bronx based group The Peace Poets - @ThePeacePoets, and the song contextualizes the pain Tamir's mother must feel, as well as the call to action, hope and uprise (from our conversations after checking out the original video.

We began by talking about the lyrics, the intentions of the song, and then unpacking how to portray pain, murder, injustice, but also hope, community and uprising through both vocal and instrumental performance.

Original Video:    • "Song for Tamir Rice" by The Peace Poets  

Lyrics:
When a mother is mourning
And you hear her say
She wants to see this govenrnment
Investigate this case

A mothers cry for justice
Can you hear her pain
Oh, Tamir, Tamir, we feel you here
Waking up the DOJ
