Musical activist and singer/songwriter Robert Miranda has released the music video for Happening Again, a musical lament of the current war on young black men. The video was shot on Washington, D.C.’s U Street (an area coined “Black Broadway” by singer Pearly Bailey and the epicenter of the 1968 Washington, D.C. riots).
“When I saw Michael Brown’s body lying on the street and then learned that the Ferguson police left him in full view for four hours I was disgusted and angry,” Miranda says. “The song was intended to be homage to Michael Brown, but it grew in to a musical survey of the abuse against young black men, which runs from coast to coast – NYC to Oakland.”
