Found the Black Family Album "Time For Touching Home" (which I had years ago on cassette) on YouTube, while looking for "Prayer of Shields/Sweet Liberty". I recently started a Facebook group (Ballad Share), and my niece posted a song from the Civil war era, voicing her concerns about racism in folk music. I won't go into it but it sent me in search of songs from that era and others that express love of freedom for all and equality. Anyway, I always liked this one, and I think it illustrates how folk songs are a voice for the oppressed, and a way to keep alive the memory of what has been and to work for change. Plus-- The Black Family does a great job on this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOsns1b-Dpw&list=OLAK5uy_kDH-aSrL9ytzEycAqiLDE3ouHK6_fE9Ec&index=1
