A song by Pete Seeger for the three murdered civil rights workers who were brutally murdered.
Civil Rights hasn’t been won yet. The blood of those three brave young men wasn’t in vain. We are instructed to take up the challenge and make this world a fairer place.
The fascists and white supremacists are still walking our streets and their lies are still being tweeted by Trump.
Those Three Are On My Mind – Pete Seeger
I think of Andy in the cold wet clay
Those three are on my mind
With his comrades down beside him
On that brutal day
Those three are on my mind
There lays young James in his mortal pain
Those three are on my mind
So I ask the killers can you see those three again
Those three are on my mind
I see dark eyed Michael
With his dark eyed bride
Those three are on my mind
And three proud mothers
Weeping side by side
Those three are on my mind
But I’m grieving yet
And for some the sky is bright
I cannot give up hoping
For a morning light
So I ask the killers do you sleep at night
Those three are on my mind
I see tin roof shanties
Where my brothers live
Those three are on my mind
And the little burnt out churches
Where they sing we forgive
Those three are on my mind
I know of Tom Paine’s Water Tree
I know the price of liberty
Now I ask the question that is deep inside of me
Did they also burn the courthouse
When they killed those three
Those three are on my mind
Those three are on my mind
Those three are on my mind
White Supremacists. So what do you say about the Black violent movements, the Chinese violent movements, the Mexican violent ,movements. You write as though the only racist group are the White Supremacists. Never mind whats going on in America and your unnatural obsession with President Trump, because he is President you know. Concentrate on whats going on here in Britain how the Pakistani the entire Muslims are taking over our streets our Towns our Cities, you just sit back and deny it all. They call this Their Country, it is not, they say there is only one faith Theirs, well news for them Britain will forever remain a Christian Country. What does that make me making these statements a White Supremacist a Racist. You just believe anyone who will not accept the Muslims taking over is wrong.
As for those Students/Civil Rights Protestors being murdered and remembered. Are they? Their Grave is smashed the Blacks they fought for most of them dont give a damn that they died. They were
I stand for justice, equality and freedom everywhere Anna. I have recently done posts on South Africa.
The way the blacks were enslaved and then segregated and treated like animals, the lynchings and beatings. It was appalling.
The brutal murder of the three young men was disgusting.
I am quite shocked that you are standing up for racists and violent people.
There are racist groups everywhere and I don’t condone any of them no matter what colour or creed. You may have read my posts on the treatment of the Rohingya by the Buddhists in Myanmar.
Trump is about the worst President in the history of America – I don’t know of any who openly supported fascism, violence and division. He disgusts me.
As for the Muslims taking over here I think you read too many fascist scandal sheets. 4.4% is hardly taking over. I think you are a little hysterical on this. I do not like Islam as a religion but I have taught a number of Muslim children and met their families and have Muslim friends. They are all as pleasant as anyone else. You have been going on about it as if all Muslims are radical terrorists intent on taking over Britain. They are just ordinary people Anna. A lot of them have been through terrible times and just want a better place to bring up their kids like any parent. Perhaps if weren’t still bombing them they wouldn’t want to migrate? Do try to keep it in perspective.
If the graves of those poor young civil rights workers have been trashed it is the white supremacists to blame. They are an evil bunch. You know – the ones that support Trump.
Sorry, hit the wrong key, I meant to finish. They were Black and White Civil Rights protestors that were murdered that night.
