I think Jim Carroll raises an important point. Censorship in song material is never a way
to reach people. The best way I have found is to present songs in . History serves as a way. Also, express views about the song if it is found to be offensive to some.

I have sung "The Unreconstructed Rebel" in to show another side of the issue
of the American Civil War. I don't agree with the sentiments of the song but it's instructive to see what songs were sung when and why. I would contrast it to "Battle Cry of Freedom",
"Marching Through Georgia" or "We Shall Overcome".

I sing the anti-coal mining union "Flag of Blue, White and Red" in with "Miner's Lifeguard", a pro-coal mining union song to show historical contrast.

I haven't yet decided to sing "The Wesselhorst Song" in conjunction with "Zog Mit Kenymol", however. A strong concert would have to be prevalent to do that.

Songs are revealing, both positive and negative. Combined, they make the statement that
you want to present in again .

The tenor and presentation of songs in display the views of the performer
far better than censorship of specific songs which may be offensive out of .
