Ballad Of The ERA

Ballad Of The ERA
[1982]
Lyrics & Music by Kristin Lems
Album: Equality Road

"This was "the" rally song for the E.R.A. campaign...I sang this all over the country.."
This track was recorded live at the final ERA rally in Lafayette Park, Washington, DC, on June 30, 1982, the day that the time limit on the proposed Amendment expired. "I marvel that the singing shows such good cheer and resolve," she muses, "when you consider everyone there was having nervous breakdowns. In a way, the rally was a mass therapy session!" To add to it all, it rained - and the rally was shortened. One of the photos in the CD booklet shows a group of children, young feminists, holding up a big umbrella over Kristin as she continued "singing in the rain".
It was 50 years ago

Lyrics based on speech by Martin Luther King, Jr., -with added words by Kristin Lems; Music by Kristin Lems
Album: Imagine That! Songs For Creative Teachers.

"I loved these words and wanted to sing them. I discovered a way to pair them with a well-known "campfire" song. I then added the third verse, in addition to the first and last verses. I am very happy with the song and enjoy teaching it to others. It's easy to learn and very meaningful.."
