The Merchant Shipping Act 1867 was passed by the UK Parliament requiring that lime or lemon Juice and other anti-scorbutics must be provided and kept on board ships. This was intended to prevent scurvy amongst ships’ crews. This gave rise to the term “lime-juicers” when referring to British sailors and in the USA this eventually resulted in the term “limey” being used as a slang term for British folk in general.

NB no music. Frederick Douglass - 2018 BBC Radio4 - In Our Time Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the life and ideas of Frederick Douglass, who was born into slavery in Maryland in 1818 and, once he had escaped, became one of that century's most prominent abolitionists. He was such a good orator, his opponents doubted his story, but he told it in grim detail in 1845 in his book 'Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave.' He went on to address huge audiences in Great Britain and Ireland and there some of his supporters paid off his owner, so Douglass could be free in law and not fear recapture. After the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, he campaigned for equal rights for African-Americans, arguing against those such as Lincoln who had wanted freed slaves to leave America and found a colony elsewhere. "We were born here," he said, "and here we will remain." With : Celeste-Marie Bernier Professor of Black Studies in the English Department at the University of Edinburgh Karen Salt Assistant Professor in Transnational American Studies at the University of Nottingham Nicholas Guyatt Reader in North American History at the University of Cambridge Producer: Simon Tillotson. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09qb0kc Link to post above SONGS ABOUT FREDERICK DOUGLASS |

Subject: RE: Any August Songs? From: GUEST Date: 28 Aug 24 - 12:06 AM 28 August 1963 Civil rights leader Martin Luther King made his “I have a dream” speech to a rally of 200,000 people in Washington. "Abraham, Martin and John" is a 1968 song written by Dick Holler. The song itself is a tribute to the memory of four assassinated Americans, all icons of social change: Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy. It was written in response to the assassination of King and that of Robert Kennedy in April and June 1968, respectively. It was first recorded by Dion, in a version that was a substantial North American chart hit in 1968–1969. Near-simultaneous cover versions by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles and Moms Mabley also charted in the U.S. in 1969, and a version that same year by Marvin Gaye became the hit version in the UK. It was also a hit as part of a medley (with "What the World Needs Now Is Love") for Tom Clay in 1971, and has subsequently been recorded by many other artists.
