Anthony Hamilton is back.

Anthony Hamilton has returned with a powerful message in his latest video, "Love Conquers All." The Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter belts about the perils and progress of freedom fighting and everyday survival for black people in America.

In the opening scene of the video Hamilton walks ahead of a throng of protesters and sings,

"How can we break the cycles?...

Nothing ever changes, but we still march."

In a recent interview with Essence, Hamilton spoke on using his platform, voice, and music to raise awareness for social justice causes like criminal justice reform, gun control, and police brutality.

An artist has two choices. Stay quiet or use your voice. Through his music, Anthony Hamilton continues to encourage folks to be part of the change we need in this country.

The video comes ahead of the upcoming mid-term elections, and Hamilton uses its message of love and persistence to combat these issues.
