Comment:
What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness, but is love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black.http://www.historyplace.com/speeches/rfk.htm
Feedback:
Really nice! This is a wonderful mix, showcasing the heroic, conscientious, activist side of rock and roll. I can't think of a single thing not to like!
good mix, but I find it strange that very few of your listed artists are actually Black. Something to consider.
Excellent sentiment and selections. Check out last years Mavis Staples disc, several tunes would fit very appropriately here.
the Rolling Stones are black, aren't they? love that sad Billie Holiday song - and the sentiment behind your mix.
I love the last three, even with the U2.
