Patriotic Songs Patriotic Songs America (My Country ‘Tis of Thee) America the Beautiful by Samuel Francis Smith Words by Katharine Lee Bates, Melody by Samuel Ward My country, 'tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty O beautiful for spacious skies, Of thee I sing; For amber waves of grain, Land where my fathers died, For purple mountain majesties Land of the pilgrims' pride, Above the fruited plain! From every mountain side America! America! Let Freedom ring. God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood My native country, thee, From sea to shining sea! Land of the noble free, Thy name I love; O beautiful for heroes proved I love thy rocks and rills, In liberating strife. Thy woods and templed hills, Who more than self their country loved My heart with rapture thrills And mercy more than life! Like that above. America! America! May God thy gold refine Let music swell the breeze, Till all success be nobleness And ring from all the trees And every gain divine! Sweet Freedom's song; Let mortal tongues awake; O beautiful for patriot dream Let all that breathe partake; That sees beyond the years Let rocks their silence break, Thine alabaster cities gleam The sound prolong. Undimmed by human tears! America! America! Our fathers' God to Thee, God shed his grace on thee Author of Liberty, And crown thy good with brotherhood To thee we sing, From sea to shining sea! Long may our land be bright With Freedom's holy light, You're a Grand Old Flag Protect us by thy might by George M. Cohan Great God, our King. You're a grand old flag, God Bless America You're a high flying flag by Irving Berlin And forever in peace may you wave. You're the emblem of God Bless America, The land I love. Land that I love. The home of the free and the brave. Stand beside her, and guide her Ev'ry heart beats true Thru the night with a light from above. 'neath the Red, White and Blue, From the mountains, to the prairies, Where there's never a boast or brag. To the oceans, white with foam Should auld acquaintance be forgot, God bless America, My home sweet home. Keep your eye on the grand old flag. 1 Yankee Doodle God Bless The U.S.A. by Lee Greenwood Yankee Doodle went to town, If tomorrow all the things were gone, A-riding on a pony; I’d worked for all my life. Stuck a feather in his cap And I had to start again, And called it macaroni. With just my children and my wife. chorus: I’d thank my lucky stars, Yankee Doodle keep it up, To be livin here today. Yankee Doodle dandy, ‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom, Mind the music and the step And they can’t take that away. And with the girls be handy. chorus: And I’m proud to be an American, Father and I went down to camp Where at least I know I’m free. Along with Captain Gooding And I won’t forget the men who died, And there we saw the men and boys, As Who gave that right to me. thick as hasty pudding. And I gladly stand up, (chorus) Next to you and defend her still today. ‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land, There was Colonel Washington, God bless the USA. Upon a strapping stallion, A-giving orders to his men, From the lakes of Minnesota, I guess there was a million. to the hills of Tennessee. (chorus) Across the plains of Texas, From sea to shining sea. The Star Spangled Banner From Detroit down to Houston, by Francis Scott Key and New York to L.A. Oh, say, can you see Well there's pride in every American heart, By the dawn's early light, and its time we stand and say. What so proudly we hailed (chorus) At the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, Through the perilous fight, Stars and Stripes Forever O'er the ramparts we watched, by John Phillip Sousa Were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, Hurrah for the flag of the free! The bombs bursting in air, May it wave as our standard forever, Gave proof through the night The gem of the land and the sea, That our flag was still there. The banner of the right. O say, does that star-spangled banner Let despots remember the day Yet wave When our fathers with mighty endeavor O'er the land of the free Proclaimed as they marched to the fray And the home of the brave? That by their might and by their right It waves forever. 2 Battle Hymn of the Republic This Land is Your Land Written by Julia Ward Howe Written by Woody Guthrie Mine eyes have seen the glory of the This land is your land, coming of the Lord: This land is my land, He is trampling out the vintage where the From California grapes of wrath are stored; To the New York island, He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his From the Redwood Forest, terrible swift sword: To the Gulf stream waters, His truth is marching on. This land was made for you and me Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! As I was walking, Hallelujah! That ribbon of highway, I saw above me Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam Now that side was made for you and me! Born on the Fourth of July In the squares of the city I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart In the shadow of the steeple She's my Yankee Doodle joy Near the relief office Yankee Doodle came to London I see my people Just to ride the ponies And some are grumblin' I am the Yankee Doodle Boy And some are wonderin' If this land's still made for you and me. Nobody living can ever stop me As I go walking That freedom highway Nobody living can make me turn back This land was made for you and me 3 The Hammer Song Let There Be Peace On Earth Words & music by Lee Hays & Pete Seeger Words and music by Jill Jackson and Sy Miller If I had a hammer Let there be peace on earth, I'd hammer in the morning and let it begin with me.

It's a bell of freedom To welcome home our darling boy, It's a song about love between my brothers Hurrah, hurrah! and my sisters The village lads and lassies say, All over this land.

  • Conflicting Images of Land, People, and Nature of Native Americans and Euro-Americans Robert H
    This Land Is Your Land, This Land Is My Land: Conflicting Images of Land, People, and Nature of Native Americans and Euro-Americans Robert H. Craig Abstract This paper explores varying dimensions of an enduring conflict between people of European origin and indigenous communities over land and land related issues. This means not only wrestling with differing understandings of land and natural world, especially as a visual landscape, but what we might learn from indigenous people that can lead to the creation of a common future that enhances both human and nonhuman life. Illustrative of some of the issues at the heart of white-Indian misunderstanding is a case-study of the conflict between Euro-Americans and the Lakota people over the Black Hills of South Dakota. The closing section of this paper concludes with an examination of the work of Wendell Berry and the myriad ways he can facilitate a needed dialogue between whites and Indians. 1. Introduction The title of this paper comes from a familiar American song composed by Woody Guthrie. The ballad was the theme song for George McGovern’s ill-fated 1972 presidential campaign and has been popularized by everyone from Pete Seeger and Peter, Paul, and Mary to United Airlines and the Ford Motor Company (Klein 1980:433). For many people this song is a romantic celebration of America that is embodied in refrains such as “from California to the New York Island, from the Redwood Forests, to the Gulf Stream waters, this land was made for you and me.” (Woody Guthrie Pages: 1).

  • This Land Is Your Land © Jake Schlapfer a Mission to Preserve You Have Inherited Vast Treasures
    This Land Is Your Land © Jake Schlapfer A Mission to Preserve You have inherited vast treasures. Some of these are close at hand, and others are located at the far corners of the country. These treasures are a link to your past and a legacy to leave for the future. Every fellow citizen shares them. These treasures are your national parks—all 392 sites. They are gifts from earlier generations, set aside not for a privileged few, but for all Americans to enjoy. These varied lands hold stories that tell the tale of our nation’s development and how we have evolved. Our national parks are part of a legacy that you, too, will pass on to future generations. Two groups are among those that can help you do this: the National Park Service and the National Parks Conservation Association. The National Park Service (NPS) www.nps.gov is a government agency established in 1916 that operates under the Department of the Interior. Its purpose is to protect and preserve our National Park System. The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) www.npca.org is an independent voice outside of government. Established in 1919, NPCA works to protect and enhance America’s national parks for current and future generations. Melissa Blair, NPCA Alaska Field Representative, with a wild silver salmon. Kenai Fjords National Park. As you can see, the two organizations have similar missions. “The mission of the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) is to conserve the scenery, the natural and historic objects, and the wildlife in the United States’ national parks, and to provide for the public’s enjoyment of these features in a manner that will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.” Ponder the Parks: National Parks Conservation Association’s (NPCA) mission is “To protect and enhance America’s National Park System 1.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Masks in Disguise: Exposing Minstrelsy and Racial Representation within American Tap Dance Performances of the Stage, Screen, and Sound Cartoon, 1900-1950 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance by Brynn Wein Shiovitz 2016 © Copyright by Brynn Wein Shiovitz 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Masks in Disguise: Exposing Minstrelsy and Racial Representation within American Tap Dance Performances of the Stage, Screen, and Sound Cartoon, 1900-1950 by Brynn Wein Shiovitz Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Susan Leigh Foster, Chair Masks in Disguise: Exposing Minstrelsy and Racial Representation within American Tap Dance Performances of the Stage, Screen, and Sound Cartoon, 1900-1950, looks at the many forms of masking at play in three pivotal, yet untheorized, tap dance performances of the twentieth century in order to expose how minstrelsy operates through various forms of masking. The three performances that I examine are: George M. Cohan’s production of Little Johnny ii Jones (1904), Eleanor Powell’s “Tribute to Bill Robinson” in Honolulu (1939), and Terry- Toons’ cartoon, “The Dancing Shoes” (1949). These performances share an obvious move away from the use of blackface makeup within a minstrel context, and a move towards the masked enjoyment in “black culture” as it contributes to the development of a uniquely American form of entertainment. In bringing these three disparate performances into dialogue I illuminate the many ways in which American entertainment has been built upon an Africanist aesthetic at the same time it has generally disparaged the black body.

  • Ii WOODY GUTHRIE
    ii WOODY GUTHRIE THIS COLLECTION PRESENTS FOR THE FIRST TIME the full range of material Woody Guthrie recorded for the United States government, both in song and the spoken word. This publication brings together two significant bodies of work – the songs and stories he recorded for the Library of Congress, and the material he created when hired to write songs for the Bonneville Power Administration. There have been records released in the past of the Library of Congress recordings, but this collection is the first time that the complete and unedited Library of Congress sessions have been released. The songs from those recording dates have been available in the past – notably from Elektra and from Rounder – but we offer here the full body of work, including the hours of Woody Guthrie talking and telling his story. TO THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS AND BPA RECORDINGS, we have also added material which Woody recorded for governmental or quasi-governmental efforts – some songs and two 15-minute radio dramas for the Office of War Information during the Second World War and another drama offered to public health agencies to fight the spread of venereal disease.

  • Why and How the Department of the Interior Should Give Greater Consideration to the Gray Wolf’S Historical Range
    05 COLLIER REVISED SECOND PROOFS (DO NOT DELETE) 11/8/2018 3:14 PM “This Land Was Made for You and Me”*—And Them: Why and How the Department of the Interior Should Give Greater Consideration to the Gray Wolf’s Historical Range Amy Collier** Throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the gray wolf was systematically eradicated from most of the lower forty-eight states. A population of hundreds of thousands was whittled down to a few hundred, concentrated only in the woods of Minnesota and Isle Royale, Michigan. The wolf has rebounded, thanks to robust federal protection. But full recovery remains elusive—in part because of the federal government’s narrow expectations for recovery. In August 2017, the D.C. Circuit struck down a 2011 rule that removed the gray wolf from the endangered species list in the Western Great Lakes area. The court held that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had impermissibly failed to consider how the loss of the gray wolf’s historical range affected the species’ overall survival outlook. This decision highlighted some long-recognized shortcomings of the Service’s interpretation of recovery under the Endangered Species Act, including its concentration on core populations to the detriment of peripheral ones. Focusing on the complex history of the gray wolf, this Note explores traditional justifications for species preservation, as well as justifications for a broader geographic recovery of a species. In doing so, it identifies a repertoire of principles that should inform future decisions about a species’ geographic restoration, and by reflecting on these principles, it argues for a more purposeful consideration of a species’ historical range.
