Nina Simone singing  ”Mississipppi Goddamn”. She wrote the song in response to the Evers killing.

Can’t you see it
Can’t you feel it
It’s all in the air
I can’t stand the pressure much longer
Somebody say a prayer

Also, here is the infamous New Yorker fiction piece that ran in 1963. It’s written from the killer’s perspective.
