Blues for Peace

Here's a good site that manages to combine great music with social justice: Blues For Peace. The web site explains their mission: "Blues for Peace was set up in Israel in 1997 to honor the roots of blues music and promote peace and the understanding that ALL peoples have had their share of the blues. The Blues for Peace slogan is "And they shall beat their swords into guitars..." TM The website is dedicated to the unsung heros of blues music, the local blues musicians in every city in every country of the world that love the blues and pass it on to the next generation." There are photos, song lyrics, stories of blues musicians, writings by beat poets and other writers and poets, quotations on peace, a newsletter, merchandise for sale, and more.
