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.

Beyoncé is about as politically savvy as my golden lab. She’s got a great bod and an okay voice, and someone is giving her very bad advice.
Since 97% of “celebrities” are either liberal themselves or go along to get along, she’s on solid ground with the public I’d think.
Why’s she try so hard to look white? Bleached hair (probably wig) bleached skin? (Yeh..can be done)
Blacks shouldn’t have straight hair, it’s cultural appropriation.
Beyoncé is ugly to me. She is trashy and stupid. So I see past her shapeliness and attractive face. Her character seems low and arrogant.
Contrast her with Rhianna who is actually talented, emotional, sweet, fiery, and down to earth. So to me, she is beautiful.
It’s almost surely hair extensions or a wig. Impossible she grew that hair.
It’s still cultural appropriation just the same.
And this practice of making career criminals "heroes" because they were "taken down" by the cops during the commission of another crime is just despicable.
No wonder cops (many of whom are black) just want to back off and let whatever happens happen in the black communities. Murder rates continue to skyrocket in places like Chicago, Detroit and Baltimore. Seems that "Black Lives Matter" is nothing more than an empty slogan.
Did they post their grades on stage?

why do our young white people buy this crap is beyond me....might as well lay in a gutter and have people spit on you....
Maybe the constant reminders of just how bad white people were to black people thus creating “white guilt syndrome”. Sort of a payback for all the misdeeds in the past. Baffles the crap out of me too. Just as does the ever so stylish droopy drawers we see. Excuse me young man, I really do not care to see your underoos.
