RACISM

This lyric from Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power” fits best with the theme of racism. The song talks about using free speech to fight and that is exactly what Atticus Finch did in the courtroom.

Great SoundtracksJuice starred Tupac Shakur and featured Samuel L. Jackson, and its soundtrack was loaded with real hip-hop at a time when movies of its kind were still going with safer R&B. East Coast legends such as EPMD, Big Daddy Kane and Eric B & Rakim appear alongside West Coast rappers.

Michael Jackson - Man in the MirrorIn 1987, Michael Jackson, released “Man In The Mirror,” an uplifting about society’s tendency to turn away from difficult social issues. The song, and its politically-charged video, acted as a literal call for change, touting the message that change begins from within.

Lady Gaga - Born This WayAlmost 25 years later, Lady Gaga released Born This Way. With its thumping bass, infectious hook, and slamming club beats, “Born This Way” sounded like any dance-pop song should, but its progressive lyrics made it into the powerful anti-prejudice, pro-LGBT, pro-self-acceptance anthem Gaga intended it to be.

Beyonce - LemonadeBeyoncé’s project clearly won over her fans who were both impressed and maybe a little confused by the album‘s message. Since the album started out with several references to infidelity, breaking up and regretting getting married, many fans on Twitter quickly assumed that Bey was referencing her relationship with Jay Z.

Walk a Mile in My Shoes: ElvisIf I could be you, if you could be meFor just one hourIf we could find a way to get insideEach other's mind

If you could see you through my eyesInstead your egoI believe you'd be, I believe you'd be surprised to seeThat you've been blind

Walk a mile in my shoesWalk a mile in my shoesYeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuseWalk a mile in my shoes

You never really understand a person until you consider

things from his point of view […] until you climb

into his skin and walk around in it."

-Atticus Finch
