Black, Red, White and Blue: 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.
