I was going to post this to this thread African American Protest Slogans & Songs which includes some interesting opinions as to why there appears to be so little (if any) protest singing by demonstrators at rallies and marches. But then I realized that by its name the subject of that thread was limited to African Americans. I then went looking for more appropriate thread on this topic and found this one.
