The museum highlights the song as a statement of support and solidarity, delivered through Levi Stubbs' powerful lead. That is an interpretation of the song's message, not a claim about a private relationship.
Evidence scope: New 1.7 source-specific paraphrase; not a claim of complete song-history review.
