The mothers of Trayvon Martin and and Michael Brown are featured in Beyonce's new album, which was released on Jay-Z's Tidal streaming service on Saturday night after an HBO special promoting it.
Lemonade is the title of both the singer's first album in three years, and the 'visual album' which aired on HBO to promote it.
And the singer continued to lace her work with a political message, as well as hitting out at her husband Jay-Z amid rumors of infidelity while ultimately appearing to forgive him.
Beyoncé's visual album Lemonade aired on HBO on Saturday, and the film served as a bold tribute to the perseverance of African American women and the Black Lives Matter movement.
The pop queen drew a theme early in Lemonade as the film cuts to a snippet from late civil rights leader Malcolm X, who is heard saying: 'The most disrespected person in America is the black woman.'
Later, Mike Brown's mother Lesley McSpadden is seen crying as she holds a photo of her late son, whose shooting death by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014 sparked protests and a Department of Justice investigation.

She will mostly be remembered for setting a trend of black mothers naming their children with French sounding names. I met a black kid, and when I asked her mother what her name was she said “Bocoupeaye.”

Real success stories.
So the route to fame is to get yourself pregnant as a teen and raise a thug who gets himself offed. Great.
Is this the new album “Should have raised your kids right”?
She us a glittering jewel of collosal ignorance.
Singers appear to be particularly vulnerable to the cretin disease.
I hope for the day when we are all beyond beyoncé.
Offed by a cop yes. Offed by another thug no.
So much for the Super Bowl facade about her purported ignorance about her routine.
Uh, there was no racis’ intent. Much.
LOL...I was going to say something, but I was raised not to say anything if I couldn’t say something nice...
This is an example of “black privilege”. If a white man were assaulting someone and got shot by their victim acting in self defense, their memory would not be so honored by a famous performer.
FUBouncey
Pandering to the criminal element in society. Sure will set a fine example for young black men. Oh how I long for the America of my youth.
