Martin Luther King:
"I believe that what self-centered men have torn down, men other-centered can build up. I still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed and non- violent redemptive goodwill proclaimed the rule of the land. And the Lion and the Lamb shall lie down together, and every man shall sit under his own vine and fig tree, and none shall be afraid. I believe that we shall overcome."

I Love the Red, White and Blue:
(sung to tune of "When the Saints Go Marching In")

Our flag is red,
Our flag is white.
And in the corner it is blue,
Oh, our flag stands for our country,
How I love red, white, and blue!

Some stripes are red,
Some stripes are white,
And in the corner it is blue,
Oh, our flag stands for our country,
How I love red, white, and blue!

American Flag:
As red as a fire,
As blue as the sky,
As white as the snow--
See our flag fly!
Three pretty colors
Wave at the sky,
Red, white and blue
On the Fourth of July!
Red, white and blue
Those colors are,
And every state has its very own star.
Hold up the flag
Hold it up high,
And then say, "Hurrah,
For the Fourth of July!"

on a broomstick on a shanty
of a consul in a foreign town."

Those Were the Days My Friend:
Those were the days
Carrying Picket Signs in Protest Lines
United Together in Hard Times
Fighting and Scraping for Equity Dimes
Those were the Days

Those were the Days
Lifting Our Banner on Labor Day
Moving Ahead for Equal Pay
Teaching our Members the Union Way
And at the Table We Had Our Say
Those Were the Days

Those Were the Days

Teaching Seminars for Hours
Reinforcing Union Powers
Reaching Out for PEOPLE Dollars
Those Were the Days

Those Were the Days
You've Had a Ball and Did It All
24 Hours a Day On-Call
Those Were the Days

Those Were the Days
We Walked the Walk
And Talked the Talk
Had No Time to Fret or Sulk
Those Were the Days

Those Were the Days
You've Earned the Kudos
Through the Years
We'll Raise Our Glass and Echo Cheers
We Are Confident and Without Fear
That in your Union's Heart
Your Always Near
Those Were the Days

Those Were the Days
Please Don't Sigh or Say Good-Bye
The Union's Heart is Our Eternal Cry
The Union Spirit Never Dies
Those Were the Days My Friends
