A protest folk song from the early 1980s about the massacre of five labor-movement activists at an anti-Ku Klux Klan (KKK) rally in Greensboro, North Carolina on November 3, 1979.
[…] Lo slogan “Death to the Klan” emerse prepotentemente negli anni ’70, mentre i cavalieri del Klan si diffusero in tutti gli Stati Uniti, favorendo così l’espansione di altri gruppi del Klan, come Invisible Empire. La nuova ondata organizzativa del Klan ha giocato un ruolo rilevante nelle comunità del Sud degli States, come a Greensboro, North Carolina.

The "Bloody Minds" anti-war protest folk song was written in a Furnald Hall dormitory room on Columbia University’s campus in March of 1967, after I discovered that Columbia University was an institutional member of the Pentagon’s Institute for Defense Analyses [IDA] weapons research think-tank and that Columbia University President Grayson Kirk was a member of both IDA’s board of trustees and IDA’s executive committee.

"Palestine Lives!" was written during the 1970s when the Israeli establishment was then unwilling to even sit down at the negotiating table with the representatives of the Palestine Liberation Organization [PLO] that was recognized as a legitimate political organization by most members of the United Nations. But the folks who control the U.S. media conglomerates still don’t appear very eager to provide much airplay for U.S. folk songs that support the right of all Palestinians to return to their homeland and exercise their democratic right of national self-determination.
An anti-war protest folk song written shortly after U.S. Navy warship Vincennes fired a missile at an Iranian airliner on July 3, 1988 and killed nearly 300 civilian passengers.
An anti-war folk song that protests against the late 20th-century and early 21st-century USA/NATO policy of "humanitarian" military intervention in foreign countries.
