George Mann - People Like You

21. People Like You (George Mann): In the mid-1970s, I spent three weeks as part of a team training union leaders from all over the U.S., who had come to Washington, D.C. to lobby Congress for stronger health and safety provisions. Their employers had punished them for their outspokenness by deliberately sending them to work in unsafe conditions, where they’d all been seriously injured. Yet every one said they would do it again. This is for them, and for everyone who has the courage to speak out, even at great personal risk. I hope this song is for you.
