Beyoncé’s new song, “Black Parade”, captures the mood of the movement coming to life in the United States. Many artists have used the recent months to reflect on police brutality and what it means to be “Black” in America. Superstars Jay-Z and Beyoncé have chosen to speak out over these controversial issues.
