With their right hands on their heart they are all bellowing out the lyrics, standing by their shopping carts and the stacked shelves.

However, others found the scene disconcerting with MandaPanda06 writing: "Not even going to lie this is super strange."

The singing happened the day before Fourth of July, which this year saw many progressives Black lawmakers expressing their views on what the holiday means from the Black American perspective.

Missouri Rep. Cori Bush tweeted: "When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they're referring to is for white people. This land is stolen land and Black people still aren't free,"

California Rep. Maxine Waters, the House Financial Services Committee chair, added: "July 4th... & so, the Declaration of Independence says all men are created equal. Equal to what? What men? Only white men?

"Isn't it something that they wrote this in 1776 when African Americans were enslaved? They weren't thinking about us then, but we're thinking about us now!"
