‘BREAD FOR ALL, AND ROSES, TOO’
A political slogan attributed to speeches by American activists, Helen Todd, and later, Rose Schneiderman, which inspired a poem by James Oppenhain published in 1911.
It was set to music by various composers, having been rediscovered after WWII.
This version is based on the melody written by Margarita Mimi Baez Fariña in 1974.
