Here are the three songs I spoke to you about in our last lesson

1. Sam Cooke's "A change is gonna come" which inspired Barack Obama's election announcement "A change has come to America"

2. Bob Marley's "Buffalo soldier". Buffalo soldiers were the African Americans who fought with the Unionist Army in the American Civil War.

3. And finally Billie Holiday's poignant "Strange Fruit". The photos are real photos, I'm afraid. They are not from films.
