1 You Are Your Longest Relationship: Artist DaQuane Cherry on Psoriasis, Art, and Self-Care 32:12
The "Battle Hymn" Revision, White Liberals, and Malcolm X
Manage episode 278324572 series 2824115
In this episode, we explore the origins of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," reflecting upon the myths and realities of the "white liberal" abolitionist orientation of writer Julia Ward Howe and the pacifist abolitionist elites, and their motivations for rewriting "The John Brown Song." Viewing the "The Battle Hymn" as an intentional replacement on the part of the abolitionists, we consider the raw liberationist ethos of "The John Brown Song" and why it was replaced, and the significance of its mythology in our own thinking about the antebellum and Civil War eras. Drawing upon the searing analysis of Malcolm X and the 1963 March on Washington, DeCaro draws his own conclusions about what happened to "The John Brown Song" and why. This narrative is based upon an essay from DeCaro's book, John Brown, Emancipator.
