Nina Simone: Singer & Activist⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Nina is a prominent civil rights singer who created urgent emotional intensity by singing songs of love, protest, and Black empowerment. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ She became sensitive to racism when, at age 12, she gave a piano recital in a library where her parents had to stand in the back because they were black. With songs like "Mississippi Goddamn" and "Four Women", Simone became known as the voice of the Civil Rights Movement. Her revolutionary legacy remains as relevant today as ever. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #BlackHistoryCelebration #BlackHistoryMonth ⁠
