Billy Brown, a shop steward in IAM Local 1784 in Baltimore, was inspired to write and record his rap song Solidarity after attending the first Solidarity Day rally in Washington, D.C. The chorus goes:
“Take it from the needy, give it to the greedy / That’s what Reaganomics say /
That’s just it, Reaganomics ain’t hip / And we told him Solidarity Day.”
1981 KABB 2724 Solidarity / Early Eighties
