Blowin' in the Wind

Hurricane
Answer
The answer is "Hurricane". Bob Dylan's song "Hurricane" was inspired by the story of Rubin Carter, a boxer who was wrongly convicted of murder and spent almost 20 years in prison. The song tells the story of Carter's trial and conviction and the racism and injustice he faced. Dylan's song helped to bring attention to Carter's case and played a role in his eventual exoneration.
