Just Like Selma Music Video

This award-winning music video* features Nolan Williams, Jr.'s new social justice hymn, performed by Grammy-nominated recording artists Zacardi Cortez and Beverly Crawford along with Houston's Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church Mass Choir. Echoing the sounds of Civil Rights anthems and the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the hymn commemorates the courage of those who marched across Selma's Edmund Pettus Bridge sixty years ago to secure voting rights.

A FREEDOM ADVANCES campaign initiative, Just Like Selma also honors the 100th anniversary of Black History Month—founded in 1926 by Dr. Carter G. Woodson. As new generations face renewed battles over democracy, access, and equality, this hymn reminds us of the power of our civic engagement.

*Awarded "Best Music Video" and "Best Sound Design" in the Touchstone Independent Film Festival (January 2026 edition) and "Best Director-Music Video" in the Sweden Film Awards (January 2026 edition)
