Splash Mountain, a Disney ride based on a controversial film, will be 'completely reimagined'

They’re taking out references to “Song of the South,” replacing it with a “Princess and the Frog” theme. What a great idea.

In honor of Juneteenth, post your favorite civil rights songs here

Cross posted from the Music Appreciation group, for greater visibility.

This a sort of angry response to the Beatles, which made me rethink the original song.
