Protest music has a long history in Ireland and the U.S. The anthems of the US civil rights movement, like We Shall Overcome were embraced by protestors opposed to British rule of Northern Ireland. Meanwhile in the U.S., rap and hip-hop artists sang out against racism and police brutality. David Shuer and Isis Ishino report on two musicians- one living on the west coast of the U.S. and the other living on the west coast of Ireland- who are linked by protest music.

Palestinian and Israeli flags fly over the city of Derry in Northern Ireland.  For centuries the city has been a center of tensions between Loyalists who support continued union with Great Britain and Republicans who want a united Irish Republic.  Dr. Patrick Fitzgerald is an Irish historian.  He believes both sides fly these flags as a way to link their poitical struggle to the wider world.
