The Chester Children's Chorus-I Still Can't Breathe 2016



The first music video of the Chester Children's Chorus from Chester, PA
If you watched your children disappear
would you find it hard to breathe?
When Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner were killed in 2012 and 2014, many members of the Chester Children's Chorus became concerned, upset, and even frightened.
Music has the power to change the world. Music has been integral to the movement toward civil rights and human understanding. Music saves lives.

Help us get the word out. Share this message of hope with all your friends and family.* Young viewers may find some of the images disturbing. Please use discretion when showing the video to children under age 13.
Thank you,
The Chester Children's Chorus


*Update
The video has to undergo some minor modifications because of content. We had some national interest in the video and now must do these edits to push it forward. Once we have it straightened out, the link you have will work. Unfortunately, it could be several weeks until it is fixed. We'll keep you posted. Kirsten Halker-Kratz, Executive Director, CCC

  1. This is a great, emotionally-charged performance of a heart-breaking story--no, of centuries of heart-breaking stories. Can you share the lyrics? I would like to post both a link to the video and the full set o lyrics on my blog, engagingpeace. The video should go viral if it has not done so already. Please, please, please America, listen. How can anyone be proud to be an American when racist violence continues to pollute our land?
