Pat Clifton feat. Tea Fannie connect resistance across generations on "The Night They Took Chloe Cooley"

Pat Clifton feat. Tea Fannie’s “The Night They Took Chloe Cooley” links historical struggles with contemporary experiences of race, identity, and visibility. There is a heavy history in the song, referencing Chloe Cooley, whose seizure and subsequent violent resistance helped to trigger Upper Canada’s 1793 Act to Limit Slavery. Much of the record is driven by Tea Fannie, who addresses performative allyship, tokenism, code-switching, hypervisibility, and racial judgment with satire and straight talk. The song is purposeful, challenging, and alive, connecting past injustice to present realities with conviction.
