The Strength to Not Fight Back - Aaron Nathans & Michael G. Ronstadt
6. The Strength to Not Fight Back (3:25) - This folk anthem begins with the iconic meeting between Jackie Robinson and Brooklyn Dodgers owner Branch Rickey, and expands to discuss the value of being gracious in the face of indignity.

We all need strength after the incident(s) in Charlottesville this past weekend. I found strength and inspiration in this song, “The Strength to Not Fight Back,” from Aaron Nathans and Michael G. Ronstadt’s upcoming CD due for September 1 release. It begins with the iconic meeting between Jackie Robinson and Brooklyn Dodgers owner Branch Rickey and expands to other stories of nonviolence. May we all have the strength to Not Fight Back!
