Chicago’s Young General releases protest song

The cleaning staff at Chicago’s Congress Theatre have been on strike since June 2003, protesting unfair wages and working conditions. Columbia College has joined Chicago MC Young General and producer Hannibal King to record “No Justice, No Peace,” a protest song for the striking workers. #OccupyCongress? Damn straight.
