Librettist, Thulani Davis words for this aria are stunning in their clairvoyance for the end of life of George Floyd .."As long as I can remember, you've always had your foot on me....always pressing"
Performed with searing power by baritone, Eugene Perry, it is perhaps the iconic aria about black male lived experience in the 20th century in relationship to Police and Black Community Relations.
