Black Lives Matter | Blackbird | Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney wrote Blackbird in the 60's during the Civil Rights Movement in America in support of Black people fighting for their rights.

Unfortunately, it's still relevant.

The video that I had put in the endscreen has been taken down, I believe temporarily, here's what the creator, Zoe Amira, said about it on her channel community tab: "Recently, I spoke with a representative at YouTube about the video fundraiser and it was found to violate Google monetization guidelines, in that it encourages “users to click or watch ads to increase the contribution” and I am working with them to amend that so that the video can return and stay up!
However, because YouTube so believed in the essence of the project, they have committed to making a donation equal to what all of you have raised in the name of the project. I’m still looking at which organisations will get what, and the final donation amount, but to say a phrase i’ve gotten very used to saying this week, “I’ll let you know when I know!”" I'm going to leave the link to the video here in case it comes up again because it had great content from talented Black creators: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCgLa25fDHM
