Rock n' roll, through Elvis, became a target of southern segregationists, who believed that race mixing led, inevitably, to miscegenation and that exposure to black culture promoted juvenile delinquency and sexual immorality

South Africa is so deeply rooted in history. You can't talk about South Africa without mentioning its history, culture, and great artists like Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masekela, Busi Mhlongo, etc.

Palestine is ours from the river to the sea and from the south to the north. There will be no concession on an inch of the land.[https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/dec/08/hamas-gaza-palestine-khaled-meshaal-israel Tens of thousands celebrate Hamas 'victory' rally as exiled leader returns]

Her voice and her battles influenced the process of liberation and democratic rebirth in South Africa.

I'm not a political singer. I don't know what the word means. People think I consciously decided to tell the world what was happening in South Africa. No! I was singing about my life, and in South Africa we always sang about what was happening to us — especially the things that hurt us.

[W]hen the President's visitors came to Guinea, we were all called on to go and entertain them. I've never seen a country that did what Sékou Touré did for artists. Even in South Africa today we are not nurtured like that.
