Thread Name: Looking for songs against racism
Subject: RE: Looking for songs against racism
Some really interesting posts.   In fact, the Fred Small piece I found n my collection about a week ago and have already recorded it for one of my radio programs. I have played the Lehrer piece many a time---funny and pointed.

A few other thoughts:


Holly Near---We Are Singing For Our Lives (A Zipper song to which you insert verses for your causes/beliefs)

Kate Campbell---many songs on her Visions of Plenty album with special attention to Bus 109.

Eric Bogle---Other People's Children

Lenny Bruce---Southern Mores---OK not a song but a great put-down of the racists.   Rare recording which is unlabeled

Bob Franke---Krystalnacht

I am sure I will think of many more that I recall and have played over the years.
