Default Black Lives Matter music?

Hello all.

I'm into old school folk, not so much into more modern music.

I'm putting together a playlist of songs about events, for a radio show.

"Titanic"
"Run Come See Jerusalem"
"Sinking Of The Reuben James"
"Ballad Of Ira Hayes"
"Joe Hill"
"Pretty Boy Floyd"
"Battle of Maxton Fields"

Those kinds of songs.

I've been looking for some songs about more contemporary events and am coming up empty.
"Ohio" and "I'm Changing My Name to Chrystler" are a little older than I'm looking for.

"United Breaks Guitars" and Toby Keith's "Ballad of Balad" aren't quite what I'm looking for, but are more contemporary than the others.

Does anyone know a song, any genre, about the Black Lives Matter issues? Is there a "Ballad Of Michael Brown" or something similar out there?

Thanks in advance.
