about

Inspired by militant black leaders like Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael, a new, radicalized generation of civil rights activists made up of young college students, Vietnam vets, musicians, and intellectuals emerged in Memphis in 1967.

The documentary uncovers the history and significance of the often-overlooked group of civil-rights activists who emerged in Memphis in 1967, detailing their direct involvement with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the pivotal hours leading up to his assassination.” - Prichard Smith (Director)

"About ten years ago I was asked by John B. Smith (Co-founder of The Invaders) to do the soundtrack and score for this film. Being immersed into the world of the Invaders inspired me to create the Black Power Tarot.
To see it finally be released with the beautiful narration by Nas, we can finally set the record straight and recognize the Invaders as the true folk heroes of black power that they truly are. We also get a glimpse into how they organized essential aid to the poor and their very important involvement in Dr. King's Poor People's Campaign." - King Khan

lyrics

Children of The World
by A. A. Khan

I got news for you baby

The sun is shining
but the cold done one
I know the answer
makes my feet undone
Ask me why
I don't care
They caught me runnin
with their fist in my hair

I got news for you baby

Simple plan
Was all I knew
I got my children
They're the chosen few
Watch them fly
See them run
Bless their hearts
they be the chosen ones

I got news for you baby x3
Children of the world

The gift that keeps giving
All day long
You're the one
For which I sing this song

Children of the world,
Children of the world
I got news for you baby
Children of the world
lets get it together
lets multiply
we jump we jive we harmonize

I got news for you baby X4
Children of the world

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
