A song for Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the age of Trump. 

Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash
Just what do you think I got to lose
I’m gonna leave you
With the backlash blues
You’re the one will have the blues
Not me, just wait and see

“Backlash Blues,” by Nina Simone, on Sings the Blues, 1967. The lyrics for this song were written by her friend, Langston Hughes.
