Street Fighting Man

Overview

Set to the song partially inspired by the 1968 student upheaval in Paris and elsewhere, Episode 4 of The Rolling Stones Chronicles, “Streets Fighting Man,” focuses on the intense social unrest in the latter part of the ‘60s, centered around the struggle for racial equality, gay rights, the movement against the Vietnam War, student demonstrations and the Troubles of Northern Ireland. Among the featured audio/visual clips are Martin Luther King Jr. and Muhammad Ali, the latter of whom states, “My people first deserve freedom, justice and equality.”
