<p>We have a group of teachers who are looking to do a similar type of project. I appreciate all of your posts, this was really helpful and I can share a ton of resources with them. Thank you for posing the question Lindsay.</p>

Wow, there are just so many. Apart from some of the fantastic choices that I seconded below, I would have to use "Hurricane" by Bob Dylan. If for no other reason because I think it is an atypical choice. I would probably look to throw in something from The Last Poets, one of the forerunners of rap.

"Strange Fruit" was the first tune that popped in my head for this question. Billie Holiday is a must for anything Black History Month. Plus, that tune is hauntingly beautiful.

I second the Gil Scott Herron classic. I recently played it for a grade 9 honors class who had no idea what I was talking about when I referenced it. Fortunately, I have it on my iPod. So it took about 3 seconds to cue up and play.

HIding in this lesson as a resource is a great link to Ontario Coalition Against Poverty's "Song Lyrics, for activists and protests - This is a listing of song lyrics of inspiration, for protest and for activist on topics including poverty, environmentalism, racism, police brutality, greed and even landlords!"<br />
