Ossie Davis

The most powerful song on the Watch The Throne album is called "Made In America". Frank Ocean sings the powerful hook "Sweet King Martin, Sweet Queen Coretta, Sweet Brother Malcom, Sweet Queen Betty...That song which I have heard about 20 times today pulls at the heartstrings. It made me think of this last scene of the movie Malcom X. This is the Eulogy that Ossie Davis actually read at Malcom X's funeral. Skip to 3:50 if you don't want to see the violence.
