I Wasn't Surprised
(Kristin Lems)
January 19, 2005
words and music by Kristin Lems c 2005

This song is dedicated to the families of two black college students slain at Jackson State University, one week after the slaying of four white students at Kent State university in 1970. Written in 1975, the song is an early attempt to address the many double standards of racism.
