While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
  • Musicians around the world have used protest songs to raise awareness about human rights violations.
  • US folk singer Aunt Molly Jackson released the protest song "Poor Miner's Farewell" in 1932.
  • It exposed the unlivable wages and dangerous working conditions coal miners faced in Kentucky during the 1920s and 1930s.
  • South African singer-songwriter Hugh Masekela released the protest song "Bring Him Back Home" in 1987.
  • It called on the South African government to free Nelson Mandela, an anti-apartheid leader who'd been unjustly imprisoned.
