A spout by #TheBlackMusicProject elaborates on #LeadBelly using the term #woke:

‘Lead Belly, the iconic #folk and #blues musician, coined the phrase "stay woke" at the end of his 1938 protest song "Scottsboro Boys." A song that told the 1931 story of the legal railroading of 9 Black teens accused of raping 2 White women (think "Central Park Jogger" case of its day). #staywoke’
