Knowles-Carter released this track on a special day for the Black community dubbed Juneteenth. Juneteenth commemorates the day that the slaves in Texas were notified that they had been freed.
‘Black Parade’ calls for the Black community to be resilient and to feel empowered in difficult time. In true Beyonce fashion, she brings it all back to her Southern roots “I’m goin’ back to the South /I’m goin’ back, back, back, back / Where my roots ain’t watered down”.
