January 25 is Robert Burns’ birthday, and Katie Marie and Joe put together an hour of songs and poems penned by the great Scottish poet. While surrounded by the profound upheavals of the American and French Revolutions and the evils of slavery, Burns produced over 700 works decrying injustice and promoting equal treatment for all.
