Just thought I'd put some music together in honor of Dr. King today. The civil rights movement just happened to coincide with the revival of folk music and that revival gave us some of the most memorable song that we still sing today. Below are a few that I scrounged up as I went cruising Youtube the other day. I know you have some you would like to add, so please have at it.
Keep your eyes on the prize.
We shall overcome.
Only a pawn in their game.
The ballad of Medger Evers.
Oxford town. The original Bob Dylan version was nowhere to be found so I included this interesting version.
Going down to Mississippi.
If I had a hammer.
Mississippi Goddamn.
Abraham, Martin and John.
Birmingham Sunday
