songs of protest from more recent wars

I recently did a class called "I Hear America Singing" which looked at historical events through songs. The students (adult seniors) loved it. I didn't know about this site when I did it -- I collected my own. I hear another class coming... Thanks for finding this!

History teachers discussion form provides several songs that connect with historical figures or events.

These sites are geared toward high school students and include timelines, primary documents, and paintings. Read letters from Marie Antoinette and listen to songs from the time period. There is also a link to an eThemes Resource on France.
