Since the Civil Rights Movement, she has become very political. His songs are all about politics, and he speaks very radically in concerts. He is active among activists, poets, and artists on weekdays.

Music is her lifeblood "Everything has to be sacrificed for my music" but she still can't help but speak for politics. "I don't think you have a choice. How can you be an artist and not reflect the times?"

She was so political in the end that it was difficult for her agent to help her book various activities. She also sighed, envious of other popular singers being able to get good shows and TV. But she was so awake, knowing that she was sacrificing popularity to do the right thing. But it's really hard, and realizing it's the right and necessary thing doesn't make it any less painful. "I think that the artist who don't get involved in preaching messages is probably happier but you see, I have to live with Nina. And that is very difficult." Everything is doomed. Since then, she was playing the piano in town, and black people could only sit at the end of the room, and she stopped and said let them sit in the front, or I wouldn't play. Since then, her application to the Curtis School of Music has been rejected, and it took half a year to realize that it was only because she was black.

Under the times and fate, this is what she must do and say. She has no way to be happier, she has no choice of the possibility of a happier and easier life
