Friday Breakfast Blend — Dedicated to Ben Carson and Bill OReilly

Guten Morgan! Ben Carson’s comments last week seem like a good excuse to hear some gorgeous and important music (if you missed it, he had some interesting things to say about African “immigration” during the early history of the United States). Anyway, today we’re going to hear songs of freedom, either old songs from that era or songs that address the historical fact of American slavery (Blues, Gospel, Reggae, Callypso, Hiphop, and also, African artists recording songs in support of the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa) Hope you all enjoy it!
