Who wrote the song? John Legend & Common
What is the song called? Glory
What is the songs purpose? "I wanted something that tied the spirit of Selma with what was happening in the streets at the time we were writing," he concluded, "which was people protesting in Missouri and eventually New York about injustice and police brutality." Legend and Common sang this song to close out the Grammy Awards in 2015.
What did you take from the song? Racism was and is still absolutely appalling, people are still judging others by the colour of their skin and we need to make sure those certain people know that it's not okay to do that.
