#Rodgers&Hammerstein steadfastly refused to remove the song #You’veGotToBeCarefullyTaught from #SouthPacific, threatening to pull the production entirely rather than compromise its message. Read the lyrics

When the show #SouthPacific toured, the song #You’veGotToBeCarefullyTaught
faced intense political backlash, including attempts at censorship by lawmakers in Georgia who claimed it
promoted communist ideology.

The wildly popular musical #SouthPacific opened on Broadway in 1949. Lyricist Oscar Hammerstein voiced his ardent antiracism in #You’veGotToBeCarefullyTaught. In it he argued that racism is not inherent but learned.
