Just came across this story, written by Salamishah Tillet, on Nina Simone's dream of freedom. In the story is this video of Nina Simone singing "I Wish I Knew How it Feels to be Free."
From the interview:
The question posed: "What does freedom mean to you?" She starts of casually and impersonally and in a split second turns dead serious, she confesses, "I'll tell you what freedom is to me - no fear! ... If I could have that in my life, no fear." She goes on: "It is something really, really to feel - like a new way of seeing."Yep - something like that...
