'Still' Video: TEYANATAYLOR pays tribute to BLM and victims of police brutality
Between images of past and present civil rights protests and footage of violent police encounters, singer Teyana Taylor shows support of the Black Lives Matter movement in her music video for “Still.”
The names of Black Americans killed at the hands of police and racist violence, from Emmett Till and Tamir Rice to Rodney King and Breonna Taylor, steadily flash across the screen as the video begins. As the video goes on, the singer continues to draw upon the imagery of prominent Black activists and leaders, including Huey P. Newton, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Angela Davis.
Among the video's several sequences of graphic and disturbing imagery is a montage of images from Till's open casket, which appears alongside body camera footage and audio of George Floyd's deadly altercation with police. For that, Taylor has faced some criticism on social media by those who question her decision to include the audio and footage.
