Moving, mesmerizing and poignant.

Well, I am going to tear up a bit, then when my eyes clear I will watch it a few more times.

Thank you so much, AmandaRuth.

brings back so much, lost it with M Ali, than switching to color with Emma .., omg i've watched at least 10 times

edit: on lost it, it mean, that's when the tears came....

I felt like I was watching in real life. The line of the children leaving the school after the shooting. The children in color, yet their shadows black...dead children walking one moment could be the next shadow.

The transition to Martin of color to Emma in color. Wow. Just wow.

It adds depth and understanding to the ongoing fight for rights.

Much appreciated.

Always have loved that song.

Absolutely inspiring.

Nothing else. Just wow.

It was written by Graham Nash and performed by him, Stills, and Crosby on the album (Neil Young does not appear on the song).

But the poster gave him a mention. Neil doesn't get the respect he deserves, so it was a prime opportunity for some props.

Was just sticking up for Graham!

I have the original from that time and actually used it, along with some other songs of the era, in introducing poetry in my English classes (as did many other teachers of my generation). Taking nothing away from the great Neil Young, he was not involved in this collaboration.

matched with that great song makes it even better. RESIST! Peace.

Resist. Persist. GOTV.

Just re-released.

Which there's absolutely nothing to complain about. From the OP I thought they'd re-done the song as well.

No biggie. It's a great video and remains a great tune.

I am sharing this far and wide

That really hit me right where I live. No funny comments about onions, that imagery coupled with the song made me cry. I'm old enough to have lived through ALL the imagery depicted, from Freedom Riders to Birmingham Sunday, to the Pettus Bridge. I was a student at Ohio State when Kent State happened just a couple of hours north.

It is an unending battle we thought we had at least made progress on. Now just dig out your oldies:

Peter, Paul and Mary - Where Have All the Flowers Gone
Joan Baez/Malvina Reynolds - What Have They Done to the Rain
Pete Seeger - I Ain't Scared of Your Jail

and (hopefully):
Bob Dylan - The Times They Are a'Changing

Lest we forget

Barry McGuire - Eve Of Destruction

Bufallo Springfield - Stop Children What's That Sound

So Long Mom (A song for WWIII), They're Rioting in Africa, and First We Got the Bomb
- Tom Lehrer

Thanks.

You can get the lyrics by just googling the titles and I am sure there are videos of him on youtube.

Will do in the AM....well it is already AM. Will look it up soon.

Thanks!

I will listen in the AM. Getting late.

But he lost the edge and the desire to write because politics just became too dark for him.

But he wrote songs for That Was The Week That Was, an extremely popular show which was "bought off the air" by the Goldwater campaign during the '64 campaign. Barry's people were, apparently, afraid of it's connection with the people and its ability to subject to ridicule the mendacity and foolishness of what was the actual "conservative" cause. Lehrer's songs played a big role in the show.

He also wrote for Sesame Street!

a belated welcome to DU.

Learned it when I was like 10 y.o., back then I definitely knew it by heart.

Also loved 'we'll all go together when we go', and the one about smut ...

Is titled 'For What It's Worth' and was written by Stephen Stills.

Thank you, AmandaRuth!

I can’t help getting emotional.

....Thank you for posting.....

Beautifully done. I would love to have been part of that project. Wow!

My eyes are a bit wet too.

Thank you for posting. I listen to CSNY every few weeks for inspiration.

This was a history that I have lived through, and never thought I would be reliving it yet again. Man's inhumanity to man brought front and center. Will humanity ever learn?

I believe that my posts indicate that I have been in this fight (for over 55 years and counting). Nowhere did I reference God, but if I had I believe that the help is there if we ask for it. Sometimes belief in God gives strength to those who are in the fight.

I needed that.

Here are the details from Youtube:

You're watching the official music video for Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - "Teach Your Children" written by Graham Nash. Originally released on the 1970 CSNY studio album "Deja Vu", "Teach Your Children" is featured on a 2018 Graham Nash career retrospective entitled "Over The Years..." Get a copy here https://rh-ino.co/overtheyears

The video is a collaboration between Graham Nash and celebrated filmmaker and animator Jeff Scher.

The imagery frames the youth-led liberal activism of 2018 against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement and Peace demonstrations of the 1960's, providing a powerful visual aid to Graham Nash's relevant-as-ever appeal to teach not only our children but also our parents well.

“I wrote Teach Your Children because we have much to teach them. Conversely, I believe we as parents have much to learn from them as well. I think that Jeff Scher did a wonderful job of animating my lyrics and positioning the song in a contemporary setting." - Graham Nash (2018)

Awesome!

Thank you for posting the video. I've loved that song all these decades, from the time of its release. I've even sung it a time or two with my beat up old guitar. The animations are perfect, spot on, tell such a moving saga. It moved me to tears, as it did to others who posted here, and no doubt many others.

I've been listening to this song since I was basically a child. Have listened to it through raising my own kids (and now helping with the grandkids!).

Everyone is born an atheist. No one is born a racist.

what a way to start the day.

Beautiful. Thanks.

DUer

I've always loved that song, and the artwork is wonderful. Thanks for posting it.

For an amazing song....

Thanks.

there's alot of protest music from the '60s. Everything from We Shall Overcome to Ohio. Peter Paul and Mary sang their share, as did the Smothers Brothers and Tom Paxton. I've often wondered if in these times we'd see the rise again of protest music.

and beautiful pedal steel guitar work by Jerry Garica....

of this video...

His touch on the pedal steel was different. And his sense of melody and harmony remarkable. He laid down the track essentially for free. All he asked in return was for some voice lessons for the Dead as they had a hard time singing harmonies and Jerry thought it seemed like a fair deal. And wah lah the steel guitar makes the song in my opinion.

Also ... it's et voilà

what a wonderful thing to do. The voices of my youth, still in the fray. This needs to be seen.

beautiful.

And all these many years down the road, look where we are. It’s difficult not to be discouraged. This was a timely update. Well done.

Fills my heart.
I knew it then, it's still just as beautiful and powerful.
Thank you for posting.

....but they were only drills, like fire drills. We never needed to march out of our schools with our hands up because there was a shooter in the area.

I guess this is one good thing about being old?

I remember thinking, "Why are we doing this? If they drop the bomb on us being under our desks will not save us." That was frightening for elementary aged children then. I cannot believe that our children today are facing terrorists with guns and bombs entering their classrooms. What horrors our children face just going to school today. Equally horrible is the fact that the people we put in power are unwilling to defend our children's lives.

he was with the Hollies. They rejected it, he soon left them to go to CSN, then CSNY. That's Jerry Garcia on pedal steel guitar.

LOVE THEM! Their music makes me relive my younger years
Most of all, so great to see a musical group stand up for their beliefs and incorporate it into their music.

MARCH!!!!!

Thank you for sharing this.

Weird, my husband and I were listening to that cd while we were on the road yesterday and discussing the band members, their voices, the great songs and that this was one of our favorites. This catches the mood of the anti-war movement from when they were starting out to the Resistance of today in an excellent manner.
