Black, Red, White and Blue

Broadcast on February 15, 2024
Hosted by Chris Garlock

This week's show: Union and civil rights organizer Si Kahn on “Black, Red, White and Blue,” his song about a Black World War II veteran; "Campbell's Slave Pen," a brand-new song from the R.J. Phillips Band about the Baltimore slave trade and liberation of the captives by Union troops during the Civil War; “Detroit Diva” Lynn Marie Smith on “Union Funk,” and a special treat, a live recording of legendary folksinger Anne Feeney, who died three years ago this month, accepting the Joe Hill Award – and singing -- at the 2005 Great Labor Arts Exchange (click here for info on the 2024 GLAE at Labor Notes).

Plus, the LaborForce podcast’s Michael Struchen on his favorite labor song.

Produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Mike Nasella & Kahlia Chapman.
