Thread Name: Looking for songs against racism
Subject: RE: Looking for songs against racism
Only a few days ago on a PBS special tribute to James Taylor, I heard the song "Shed a Little Light" (written by JT) performed by a group including the composer, and was again struck by the timelessness of the message; (this tune was on Taylor's 1991? recording New Moon Shine). I think it's very worthwhile to post a few lines:
Let us turn our thoughts today to Martin Luther King And recognize that there are ties between us All men and women Living on the earth Ties of hope and love Sister and brotherhood That we are bound together In our desire to see the world become A place in which our children Can grow free and strong We are bound together By the task that stands before us And the road that lies ahead We are bound and we are bound
