The de-humanization of a marginalized class and the cruelty they are subjected to was indefensible then, even more so now, since we should have learned from history. We’re better than this. | Rosanne Cash | Facebook

In 1971, Joan Baez harnessed the power of song to pay homage to the deceased members of her Hispanic community that died in a plane crash at Los Gatos. Listen to her song “Deportee” and hear how her lyrics pointed out the discriminatory coverage the media provided of the accident. https://youtu.be/mmN2nodeHuk #HispanicHeritageMonth | Rock & Roll Hall of Fame | Facebook
