In recent years, Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land” has become a rallying cry for immigrants.
Just last month, after President Donald Trump tweeted that four Democratic congresswomen of color needed to “go back where they came from,” U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the four targeted, responded with a tweet quoting Guthrie’s lyrics:

This land is my land,
This land was made for you and me. 🇺🇸💜#IStandWithIlhan https://t.co/LfQZYzKdHh— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) July 19, 2019

Friends are warmer than gold when you’re old
And keeping them is harder than you might suppose
Lately, I tend to make strangers wherever I go
Some of them were once people I was happy to know

“Four long years after her last mixtape, the Queen of Drill drops Rebirth – and revisits the site of the Bronzeville projects that taught her to persevere,” The TRiiBE reports.
“The next chapter of Katie’s career has finally arrived . . . and she’s excited about where it might take her.
