This is something to see. Via Raw Story: Attendees at Saturday night’s performance of the St. Louis Symphony were treated to an addition to the evening’s scheduled program when a flash mob of protestors serenaded the audience with a civil rights song dedicated to slain Ferguson teen Michael Brown. I know flash mob is a thing, but this wasnt a mob. It was a small group of peaceful protestors who, by the end of their song, had garnered quite a few supporters from the crowd, and at least a couple on stage. The protestors sang Which Side Are You On? -- a pro-union song written in 1932 by Florence Reece. As she used to described her coal mining lineage, her father was killed in the mines and her husband was slowly dying of black lung in Harlan County when she wrote the song. You can watch her sing a snippet of it here: youtu.be/WYr09q9dHSo
