Huddie Ledbetter first used the phrase "stay woke" on a 1938 recording of his song "Scottsboro Boys." If you don't know about the Scottsboro Boys case, you should because that's what the Republican Party wants to return to when they say "Make America Great Again."

You know who uttered the first recorded use of the phrase "stay woke"? Lead Belly. It's in a little interview he does at the end of "Scottsboro Boys."
"So I advise everybody, be a little careful when they go along through [Alabama] — best stay woke, keep their eyes open."

Anti-woke has come to mean anti-Black and anti-progress. But woke is not synonymous with Blackness or progress. Woke refers to awareness of racial injustice. It began with a 1938 song, "Scottsboro Boys," by Lead Belly.
