MESJ
MUSIC ARCHIVE - audio selections 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.
Victor
Jara - by Christy Moore (music video) Mormonism plays an increasing role in Latin America.
MESJ hopes to introduce an independent sister organization in Spanish
and English in due time.
In anticipation watch this video: Victor Jara of Chile.
We
Shall Overcome - by Mahalia Jackson (music video) We shall overcome--very moving - Mahalia Jackson gets totally
saturated with the song, even at the end as she walks from the microphone,
the power of her voice is still overwhelming..
For
the Beauty of the Earth - (music video) Sung by Paya Lebar Methodist Girls' School (Primary) choir.
Scripture teaches us that we are stewards of the earth and its resources,
which should be used “with judgment, not to excess” (D&C
59:20).
Strange
Fruit - by Billie Holiday (music video) A song most famously performed by Billie Holiday that condemns
American racism, particularly the practice of lynching and burning
African Americans that was prevalent in the South at the time when
it was written.
Hymns of
Zion When the Saints of Zion keep his law in truth
Hate and war and strife will cease
Men will live in love and peace
Heav'nly Zion, come once more and cover all the earth
