The first song I picked is “We shall overcome” from Pete Seeger. The song is originally not from him, but was associated with the American folk singer after using it as a song of protest during the Civil Right Movement. The song became an anthem for the movement; because the melody is simple but contains lyrics that can speak to many, the song is a battle cry for any group that would face adversity. In fact, the song is still recorded today in support of diverse causes.
Sunday Bloody Sunday from U2 is also another powerful protest song. The song was released as a respond of the Irish band to the British Army’s armed attacked that took place in 1972 in Northern Ireland against the Northern Irish Civil Rights protesters. The attack is known
