Trailer For “Nina Simone:Great Performance Live College Concerts And Interviews”

Nina Simone was notorious for her views about about American racism. She once told an interviewer on record that Michael Jackson’s problems were the results him being under Quincy Jone’s tutelage. Her legendary song “Mississippi Goddamn” was written in response to the murder of Medgar Evers and “Four Women” attacked the stereotyping of Black women.
