Subject: RE: Looking for songs against racism
If you're a Dub you should know about '12 Young Women and One Young Man - MacColl's song about the Dunne's workers' anti - apartheid boycott of South African goods.
In my opinion MacColl and Seeger consistently wrote the best anti-racist songs going back nearly fifty years, and sang those others wrote - The Klan Song, Colour Bar Strike .
Jimmy Wilson, Black and White, Nelson Mandela (No More), White Wind, Boycott Song, Hello Friend....... they did a whole album of anti-racist songs - mainly their own.
