Scene Line Up
De Colores (sung by the United Farm Workers)
De colores, de colores se visten los campos en la primavera
De colores, de colores son los pajaritos que vienen de afuera
Poetry
Sprawl Mart
De colores, de colores es el arco iris que vemos lucir
Y por eso los grandes amores de muchos colores me gustan a mi!
Y por eso los grandes amores de muchos colores me gustan a mi!
Classroom Dream
Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire
Canta el gallo, canta el gallo con el quiri quiri quiri quiri quiri
La gallina, La gallina con su cara cara cara cara cara
Ludlow’s Ghosts
Los polluelos, los polluelos con el pio pio pio pio pio
Mother Mary Jones
Y por eso los grandes amores de muchos colores me gustan a mi!
Y por eso los grandes amores de muchos colores me gustan a mi!
“Which Side Are You On?” Song
Which Side Are You On?
Come all you good miners, good news to you I’ll tell
15 Minute Intermission
Of how the good old union has come in here to dwell
Which side are you on, which side are you on?
My daddy was a miner, and I’m a miner’s son
Flint Sit Down Strike
And I’ll stick by the union ‘til every battle’s won
Which side are you on, which side are you on?
Memphis Sanitation Workers Strike*
Dolores Huerta
They say in Harlan County there are no neutrals there
You’re either with the union or a thug for J.H. Blair
Sprawl Mart (part II)
“This Land is Your Land” Song
* Disclaimer: The recording of Martin Luther King Jr. is actually
a combination of two of his speeches. The first half (labor-hater,
labor-baiter) was part of his I Have a Dream speech in
Washington D.C. The second (Starvation Wages) was given at a
rally in Memphis during the sanitation workers strike.
O Workers can you stand it...Oh, tell me how you can.
Will you be a lousy scab or will you be a man
Don’t scab for the bosses, don’t listen to their lies
Us poor folks haven’t got a chance unless we organize
Opening Act
Paul Malkoski
