Similar to Homecoming, Lemonade shed light on the Black American experience. The video for "Formation" referenced Black Lives Matter, civil rights, police brutality, and the poor response to Hurricane Katrina. Set in New Orleans, the video features the singer on top of police cars, Black girls dancing around in afros and braids, and ends with a young boy in a hoodie dancing in front of a police officer, holding a sign that says, "Stop shooting us," in reference to Trayvon Martin and the many Black Americans killed by cops.
