The video features crooner John Legend at a grand piano, along with rapper Common on some kind of stage. Of course, plenty of scenes from _Selma_ are woven in as well. “The first day I stepped on the set of _Selma,_ I began to feel like this was bigger than a movie,” Common [said](http://www.peoplestylewatch.com/people/stylewatch/package/article/0,,20881790%5F20891462,00.html) in his Golden Globes acceptance speech. “_Selma_ has awakened my humanity.” ### PHOTOS: See the Nation React to the Ferguson Decision  Hundreds of demonstrators, many of them Howard University students, march down the middle of U Street Northwest in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 24, 2014.
