Come January 2020, it will be 60 years from the dawn of the 1960s and 30 years since the film "Berkeley in the Sixties" was made. Thank you for posting this beautiful song. And 'though each generation fears That it may be the last, Our presence here is witness To the power of the past. And just as we have drawn our strength From those who now are gone, Younger hands will take our work And carry on.
I just got done watching that! I looked through the credits to find the name of the song and who sang it. The torch has been passed to a new generation!
@@Margaret1448 I agree. However, it is so hard because of anti-democratic institutions like the Supreme Court and the US Senate--and the Fox News Earth 2 echo chamber. At least we have defeated Trump--that's a start. #Me Too and Black Lives Matter have to continue demonstrating peacefully in the streets--and WE NEED A NEW LABOR MOVEMENT!! This song is timeless and inspiring. And yes, we must teach them!
In their own way, they are lifting up the torch. They are fighting a militarized police, an extreme right wing bunch of conspiracy nuts, while trying to find jobs that pay enough to support families
