WAYNE, Pa. - The Chester Children’s Chorus recreated a song, originally about the death of Eric Garner, and released a music video about the death of George Floyd."So our children would have the opportunity to grieve as a choir," said Chorus Founder and musical director John Alston."It was definitely something we had to do.
You had to hear it come from black children. You had to hear those lyrics. I still can't breathe," said Skyy Brooks, a member of the Chorus.After the murder of George Floyd in May, the choir says they felt it was appropriate to make a song in his honor."This is not just a horrible cycle that begins with Eric Garner and continues with George Floyd, this is a cycle that has been spiraling since slavery," said.
