We Are Sunshine in the Streets

“We are Sunshine in the Streets” was inspired by the composer’s experience of marching with UUs in Phoenix to protest unjust laws targeting immigrants. The press called the UUs the “yellow shirt people” because of the yellow “Standing on the Side of Love” shirts they wore in the march.
