Beyoncé is continuing to show a heightened sense of awareness with respect to social and political issues of the day. On the same day she appeared with her husband Jay Z at a Travyon Martin rally, the singer also dedicated Sam Cooke‘s classic song “A Change Is Gonna Come” to the city of Detroit during a performance in the area.

“This was a unique tribute to the history of an incredible city and a celebration of the strong spirit of its people,” a rep for Beyonce told Billboard. Detroit is reportedly $18-20 billion deep in debt, the largest bankruptcy filing in U.S. history. – See more at:
