Welcome to “Don’t Mourn, Harmonize,” a blog dedicated to examining and promoting the music of the labor movement. For hundreds of years, workers have written songs about their working conditions, struggles for justice, and union victories and losses. Many of these songs have become famous, while others have faded into obscurity. One thing is certain, though: as long as workers struggle for their rights, they will create songs–on the picket lines, in the office, and in the fields. With this site, I hope to examine a powerful tradition that continues to this day.
