Still Not Gone – A Protest Anthem by Barking Justice Music

From Kent State to Flint, from Tuskegee to the border—some crimes never ended. They just changed names.

Still Not Gone is a modern protest anthem rooted in the spirit of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s Ohio, but updated for a nation still haunted by state violence, systemic racism, and government neglect. With harmonies that rise from grief to fury, this song names the moments they want us to forget, and the leaders who let it happen.

Featuring verses on:

The Kent State massacre under President Nixon

The Tuskegee syphilis experiment

The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina

Flint’s poisoned water crisis

Family separations at the U.S. border

The Iraq War and COVID inaction

The January 6th insurrection

This is not nostalgia. This is a wake up call to stop the hatred, greed and ignorance.
We name the names. We remember the lies. And we stand ready to fight back.

🎙️ “You can jail the voice, but not the cry. Burn the truth, but it won’t die.”

Still Not Gone

From flower child to frontline. I write protest anthems that call out injustice, awaken courage, and remember the country we once believed in. Barking Justice Music is my rebellion.
