Well, my lesson on organized labor was a great success! I started with Sixteen Tons, mixed in some lecture on key figures and overall goals, strategies, and membership of several unions, primary source analysis–speech excerpts and some union flyers and pamphlets, photos, etc. with other songs including Coming 'Round the Mountain, Solidarity Forever, Which Side are You On, and Ballad of Joe Hill.

All of these suggestions have been great; this thread is definitely a keeper for me! Any time a good song for US or world history comes to mind, please add it to the list, and thanks so much!!!
