1.Cooke wrote this as a protest song to support the civil rights movement, as black Americans fought for equality. Up to this point, most of his songs were either touching ballads
2.Samuel Cook (January 22, 1931 – December 11, 1964), known professionally as Sam Cooke, was an American singer, songwriter, civil-rights activist and entrepreneur. Influential as a singer, composer, and producer, he is commonly known as the King of Soul for his distinctive vocals and importance within popular music.
3.I think the song was alright,for a racism song and i think it really relates to rasicam and how weak the black power is compared to the white like the white has more rights than black but we are all equal.
Glad you liked this song Adelaide! This is a very significant song in Civil Rights history. Would love you to add the link to the song. :)
