SubscribeSurvey asks, “God Bless America” at ballgames: Fair or Foul?
Passing along this interesting email I received today. In light of recent developments, it’s especially timely.
You may recall that “God Bless America” was written by Jewish composer Irving Berlin.
Greetings. I am a doctoral candidate at Harvard University, currently working on a dissertation on the history of the song “God Bless America” and its uses after the September 11th attacks. I have developed an online survey on current attitudes and associations of “God Bless America,” and I am particularly interested in hearing from baseball fans, since the song was added to the seventh inning stretch after 9/11.
Please fill out this brief survey, and pass it along to anyone else you think might be interested:
Thanks very much!
