The song "Chain Gang Boun" by Josh White and his Carolinians talks about the arrest of an African-American who was arrested and tried. Now whether the man was arrested for a crime or not we don't know but it is safe to assume that it was an unlawful arrest because the group is protesting this arrest with their song. I didn't really like the beat that song was put to, it was to slow for the genre of music. I think he made this song slow though because it is not an up beat happy song.
