Ahead of my trip to the 8th Annual Music Industry Weekend at Bosch Bahá’í School next weekend, I wanted to pose a question to you all. I’m going to be on a panel leading a discussion on songwriting and social change and, though I have my own thoughts, I wanted to put this question out there:

If you could name a song or two, from any point in history, that has in your mind had an impact on social change, what would it/they be, and why? Be sure to provide the song name and artist.
