Latest
Kendrick Lamar’s spark of a single, “Alright,” has become an official pick-me-up anthem for black people. In a powerful moment on Sunday, students at a protest near Cleveland State University used it as a rallying cry against police brutality.
In the video above, a crowd of young people who originally gathered for a Black Lives Matter rally starts chanting the chorus to Kendrick’s banger (“We gon’ be alright!”) while marching in the streets. This reportedly happened after a 14-year-old boy was arrested for public intoxication and cops later began pepper spraying the crowd.
