Won’t You Be My Neighbor? (A Benefit for Refugee Aid)
2017
[Audio Clip of John F. Kennedy's 1963 Civil Rights speech: "This Nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened."] This land is your land, this land is my land From California to the New York Island From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf stream waters This land was made for you and me [Audio Clip of Alabama Governor George Wallace's 1963 Inaugural speech: "And I say, segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!"] And I went walking that ribbon of highway And saw above me that endless skyway I saw below me the golden valley This land was made for you and me [Audio Clip of unidentified speaker: "All persons of Japanese descent were required to register. All Japanese were required..."] I roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts And all around me, a voice was sounding This land was made for you and me [Audio Clip of Donald Trump's 2016 campaign speech: "They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists."] There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me A sign was painted, said: Private Property But on the back side it didn't say nothing That side was made for you and me [Audio Clip of unidentified speaker: "I'm not for gay marriage. Marriage is a sacred institution between a man and a woman."] When the sun come shining, then I was strolling In wheat fields waving and dust clouds rolling The voice was chanting as the fog was lifting This land was made for you and me [Audio Clip of Mitch McConnell speaking, 2017: "She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted."] One bright sunny morning In the shadow of the steeple By the relief office I saw my people As they stood hungry I stood there wondering If this land was made for you and me? [Audio Clip of Barack Obama's 2004 DNC speech: "We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America."] This land is your land, this land is my land From California to the New York Island From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf stream waters This land was made for you and me This land was made for you and me This land was made for you and me [Audio Clip of John F. Kennedy's 1963 Civil Rights speech: "Today we are committed to a worldwide struggle to promote and protect the rights of all who wish to be free. [...] In short, every American ought to have the right to be treated as he would wish to be treated, as one would wish his children to be treated. But this is not the case."]
