No Justice, No Peace, Fuck These Racist-Ass Police
Say Her Name, Breonna Taylor
Say His Name, George Floyd
Who Do We Run With, Ahmaud Arbery
Hands Up, Don't Shoot
Black Lives Matter
I am publishing this because in researching recordings of historical protests, I found that they were severely lacking (in length, quality, or comprehensive coverage of the chants used) and wanted to gather some higher-than-phone-quality recordings for people in the future to use in their projects. I also wanted show the protests for what they really were, the energy of being a part of the march, and how peaceful they were. This album to me is more journalism than art, and I hope someone finds it useful!
