Emmy Bean is a singer, performer, and teaching artist living in Chicago. She is also one-third of the band 80 Foots. Today she shares a song about the contradictions between what we say and what we do when we desire justice and healing, but we still carry within us legacies of violence.

Look for 80 Foots’ album, And That Will Be How it Will Be, on Bandcamp and streaming on iTunes, Spotify, and wherever you stream your streams.
