I'm not sure why Iv'e been thinking about the Civil Rights movement lately...maybe it's the protesters on Wall street, The crowd in Washington, and just the other day- in Boston- the crowd that met Rumsfeld ........... This song says it all.
Hat's off to the people that stood with Ruby doing her journey writing history. Shout-out to Mrs. Barbara Henry, Kevin Pollack and President Eisenhower for Integration and Lori McKenna for writing the song Ruby's shoes. Ruby couldn't not have done it without the help of a lot of people.See in 1960 we work together to help Ruby, in 2011 let's work together to help our Country #Obama2012. MoPoDC

This is horrible. You cannot sing, and she did not pray for all the hatred to go away, she prayed for all of the yelling white folks to be blessed and forgiven by god. Get your facts straight! and while your at it take singing lessons, jeez :/
lol i dontt rlly care for da song...i only commented cuz lori mckenna lives rite near mee lolz and her kids go to my skool =] plusss she goesssss to meh church....soo yeahh want any stuff bout her MESSAGE MEEE! thxx
It is never about how a comment is meant..it is about who is offended.. yet I do understand..When terms like "black hole" are deemed racist by Government officials there's a big and growing problem in our society... anyway..
Good or bad judgements based on race encompasses racism whether the judgements are true or false. For example.. giving a job to a white person because they are white..is racism..even though it could be a "good judgement" based on hue. Same goes for all color people.
this song is a good song and the lyrics are so sad..! And this is so true.. and I believe that african americans are more respected now, but there are still some racists out there and it needs to stop....
yet Obama can talk about his grandmother as a "typical white person" and can be president...yet if a white person every said "typical black person" then it would be racist. Think about that. Good racism/bad racism..isn't it all racism? You are just excepting it at that point an recreating it.
Ron said it best:
"We should understand that racism will endure until we stop thinking in terms of groups and begin thinking in terms of individual liberty."
Does anyone know where you can buy the sheet music for this song?
