This song was about women empowerment and how people keep trying to bring women down
She says she will make a change by staying strong and fierce and she will face all of the hardships and she will not let anyone bring her down.
This song was written in 1972 where women did not have many rights to work and they were always kept like housewives so she is saying that she will not let anyone bring her down or break her.]]> 2022-04-08 12:42:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136266450 030658 https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136266481 This song addressed school shootings across America. The artists of this song want to see politicians send much more than their "thoughts and prayers". The number of shootings just keeps tallying up because guns are extremely accessible in this age, and leaders are doing nothing to restrict this access, even after seeing how much of an impact it has had on our country. By the time they act, it will be too late. ]]> 2022-04-08 12:42:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136266481 944599 https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136267652 -Thoughts and Prayers

-Gun violence/gun laws

-Children are being killed in their own schools and lawmakers/government are not doing anything about it except sending thoughts and prayers

-Protests and pushing law makers to make laws that protect children from school shootings or implementing stricter gun laws

2. They want to see the change because they believe in inequality within their society. 
3.Change could happen based on the awareness the song is bringing.

They want to see a change in hopes of keeping their children safe and stopping gun violence in schools. They can make this change happen by getting politicians to pass laws to better control gun violence and the access young people have to guns. This song relates to many of the school shootings that happened in America, like Erie High School or Sandy Hook]]> 2022-04-08 12:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136268329 1643212 https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136268407 I listened to the song Strange Fruit by Billie Holiday. I believe the song was meant to inform others of how African Americans feel from racism and lynching. And beside the obvious differences there made aware of them all the time. I believe she used her voice to speak out and to be informative and to hope for change. I can relate this song to events happening up to the civil rights movement based on the date. ]]> 2022-04-08 12:43:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136268407 1724161 https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136269215 This song is addressing the Vietnam war. They want to see change because the troops don't have the necessary supplies and armaments to survive and win this war. He suggest for these troops to come home. This song was released in 1969 and the Vietnam war was from 1955-1975 so it most certainly has to do with the Vietnam War

They talk about the police brutality they were experiencing and that fatalities they caused. They want to see change so people stop losing their lives.

They won't to change because children are dying in schools. They believe that guns are the main issue for school shootings and that the laws should be changed. They also disagree with the phrase that everyone states when shootings occur in schools which is "Thoughts and prayers" and is not enough and not making a big enough change. People are angry that America's leaders are sitting back and watching our children die rather than making the change to ensure that these things cannot occur again or at least reduce the chance. ]]> 2022-04-08 12:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136270200 2711582 https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136271213 The song is addressing lynching in an honest, non-censored way, which is extremely important. Billie Holiday wants to see change for black people because they are being lynched. In the song, they didn't discuss how they will make the change, but being open and honest will inform the public of what is happening. This song is about slavery and the obvious gruesome mistreatment of black people, so it is related to that tremendously long time period. ]]> 2022-04-08 12:45:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136271213 1674772 https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136271235 The problem that the song is addressing is people that have to go into the miltary and fight at war. They want to see the change because people that are in a lower class tend to get drafted instead of people in an upper class. I can relate to this in our era because it relates to the vietnam war. ]]> 2022-04-08 12:45:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136271235 1419312 https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136272451 1) the problem of lynching is being addressed

Her song is about the empowerment of women and how women are still seen as not as capable in the eyes of society.

2) They want to see change because at the time there were lots of lynchings going on, and there need to be a stop to this violent crime.
3) There need to be actions toward stopping the lynching. The song could be the action to stop it because the singer is describing how disturbing to see a lynching.
4) There have been cases of lynching. An example would be Jessye Washington from the past. There also have been cases of recent lynchings in 2021.]]> 2022-04-08 12:47:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136272736 16574614 https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136274219

The song is addressing the racism in America 

They want society to change the way people see and treat black people

By peaceful protesting to the government to make a change 

This song is related to the events when racism was at its worst in America. For example when Martin Luther king was trying to make a change

- The song is addressing feminism and the social inequalities women face, serving as a message of strength and empowerment. The song basically says the change will come slowly, but women have to recognize their own strength and wisdom to keep moving forward. Released in 1972, it can be connected to the women's rights movement in the 60s and 70s, which was a movement of activism that sought equal rights/opportunities and more personal freedoms for women.]]> 2022-04-08 12:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136275417 0000271 https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136280551 The song 'Strange Fruit' by Billie Holiday addresses the South and how the people there were lynching African Americans. Billie Holiday wanted to see a change because lynching was inhumane and no one should ever be allowed to take another person's life. She wanted to put a stop to lynching by spreading awareness and calling people to action to protest against it. An era this could relate to is the Enlightenment period, where white men would forcefully take African people from Africa and many were killed in the process if they tried to resist. ]]> 2022-04-08 12:52:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136280551 1678801 https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136413896 The song is addressing the problem of the USA fighting in the Vietnam war and wanting the US to pull out of the war and bring the solders home.

The message said in the title is conveying that they dont want just "thoughts and prayers from politicians that have the money to do something.

The change is wanted as it is not fair or right at all to lynch anybody due to the color of their skin. By making this song and including these type of lyrics it brings awareness to the situation, educating those who may not know of what's going on and how African Americans were being treated. Based off of the year that this song was created, there were most likely a widespread of lynching going around in the South as the Southern parts were more racist. ]]> 2022-04-08 14:18:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136416588 https://padlet.com/jessica_bell2/va7jpde1buso77h4/wish/2136419607 - The song "A change is gonna come" is addressing the unfairness in our/their society and the struggles that him and his people have went through which can be like slavery, civil rights and possibly others.
