Alicia Keys calls for unity, strength and faith in the viral visual for her new piano ballad "We Gotta Pray".
The uplifting song was written by the 33-year-old pregnant songstress, whose second child is due later this month, after being moved by the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson and Eric Garner in New York, who both died at the hands of white policemen.
The accompanying video was released following the grand jury's decision in New York not to indict officer Daniel Pantaleo for the chokehold death of Eric Garner. It shows protesters holding up signs that read "Black Lives Matter" surrounded by tear gas and riot police. The clip also features historic pictures from the African-American Civil Rights Movement as well as quotes from iconic civil rights leaders Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi.
