Music Archive

Where have all the protest songs gone? Well, we're collecting them right here in our MESJ Music Archive! Nothing drives a point home better than a good old protest song, sung from the heart with conviction.
Many protest songs are a little rough on the edges, evident for feelings of frustration and indignation that are so often being denied expression elsewhere. .
