The new video for the country singer Jason Aldean’s song “Try That in a Small Town” takes place outside a courthouse in Tennessee where, nearly a century ago, an 18-year-old Black man was attacked by a mob and lynched.
Mr. Aldean was criticized after releasing the video, which included violent news footage of looting and unrest during protests in American cities.
