I'm Black and I'm Proud

"Say It Loud – I'm Black and I'm Proud" is a 1968 funk song by James Brown that became an unofficial anthem of the Black Power movement. The song, written with Alfred "Pee Wee" Ellis, features a call and response chorus sung by young children and addresses racism against Black Americans, calling for Black empowerment and self-reliance. The song was a huge commercial success, holding the number-one spot on the R&B singles chart for six weeks and reaching number ten on the Billboard Hot 100, and has since been recognized as one of the greatest songs of all time, ranked number 305 on Rolling Stone's 500 greatest songs list.learn more on wikipedia
