Carl Jack - We Are Your Sons

4. We Are Your Sons (4:41)
My childhood is filled with many memories of watching my parents try to make a better world. They lived through the period described in this song and were harassed by those who sought to limit our democracy. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed on June 19, 1953, for espionage. They were pawns in a larger game to silence opposition in the United States. It was the McCarthy Era and those who did not pledge loyalty to the Government of the United States were punished. Some lost their jobs and some their lives. Seventy years later we still fight the same battles. Sometimes we must choose to struggle against injustice.
