Come Out is a 1966 piece by American composer Steve Reich. He was asked to edit down tape footage into a form of collage for a benefit for the Harlem Six. The Harlem Six were six black youths arrested for a murder of Margit Sugar, a Hungarian refugee, in Harlem in the weeks following the Little Fruit Stand Riot of 1964. Only one of the six was responsible while the lead witness is generally considered the actual perpetrator.
Reich eventually used the voice of Daniel Hamm, one of the boys involved in the riots but not responsible for the murder.
At the beginning of the piece, he says : "I had to, like, open the bruise up, and let some of the bruise blood come out to show them" (alluding to how Hamm had punctured a bruise on his own body to convince police that he had been beaten while in jail).
The police had not previously dealt with Hamm's injuries since he did not appear seriously wounded and they had beaten him themselves...
