One of my favourite songs – extremely powerful and condemning of the racist thuggery and murder.

  1. “The people organising the killings are well away out of danger…” While I sure think that’s true in most cases, especially when Medgar was murdered, I’m afraid we’ve crossed that line here in the states. It seems Trump’s rhetoric has given people permission to act out on their own anger without a middleman. That’s what’s so scary about it. Even small things like bumping into some become an occasion to release that anger.
