Nina Simone: Dont let me be Misunderstood/Netflix Movie

Nina Simone was a very influential music artist she took political things that were happing in real life and put them in to her lyrics. At first her songs seem to be more civilized, but later on in here career her songs looked like there were getting more violent and I feel like thats what caused her downfall and eventually caused her to move out of the country. I found it really interesting that she was able to team up with important African Americans such as Martin Luther King Jr and even Malcolm X. They could all put there ideas together and they wanted to have a world where everybody is treated equal. The thing that stood out to me the most was how she went from performing in her local church as a piano player then becoming a legit musical artist. Her goal was to become to first classical pianist. She got lessons on how to play the piano and then see became unbelievable. Her job playing in a church turned in to her own music career. It was tragic all the things she suffered from, but her song help people realize that they needed to fight for civil rights even if it caused violence. It was unfair what Africans went through and thats what her songs portrayed.
