Doug Morris will be singing the music of Joe Hill and other music to fan the flames of discontent. Donations will support the Mid-Ohio Foodbank.
“We sing these songs to learn the history we were never taught in schools; we sing these songs because they are our songs, songs of the working people; we sing these songs to keep alive the spirit of resistance in the face of growing injustice, indignity, and inequality; we sing these songs to ‘fan the flames of discontent,’ to borrow a phrase from the Industrial Workers of the World’s ‘Little Red Songbook’.”
On this, the 50th anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery civil rights march, we’ll recall the tunes that black and white civil rights demonstrators sang as they faced beatings, bites from police dogs, jail, and sometimes death.
Bill Cohen and Paisha Thomas will sing the simple songs and invite everyone to sing along. Also featured will be vintage film footage of key triumphs and tragedies of the movement between 1960 and 1965.
In conjunction with St. John’s 50th Annual Triune Concert Series.
Free.
It’s true that the sixties ended a long time ago but the work for civil rights and social justice that was started in the sixties is still ongoing, and, ironically, is more under attack now than ever. So, just as music and songs played a big part in the social action movements of the sixties, we need them more than ever now. Come join us for a monthly afternoon song swap of songs for social action (every last Sunday of the month).
