Civil Rights and Wrongs for December 21, 2021

This week we’re dispensing with our usual format.  In what has become a holiday tradition for us, we’ll be playing a few of our favorite tunes, most with a social justice theme.  And we’ll also share some year-end thoughts from Jim Harrington, Michelle Manning-Scott and Austin Sanders.

Due to copyright restrictions, we had to trim out the music.  However, below are links to each of the selections:

• Vince Guaraldi, Linus & Lucy (3:04)
