Freedom Song: Young Voices and the Struggle for Civil Rights ReviewThere once was a time when everything was separate and not equal. Prior the civil right movement things were labeled. If a young African-American wanted to get a drink, he had to degrade himself by drinking out of a fountain with a nearby sign that said "colored." Many people participated in the civil rights movement, but not before numerous heartbreaking incidents. In 1963 a Sunday bomb blast in the Birmingham church took the lives of Denise, Carole, Addie Mae and Cynthia. Four young innocent girls.
This book blends the story of the civil rights movement and song from the Freedom Singers to the Chicago Children's Choir (portraits of individuals are included). Christopher Moore, a minister of the First Unitarian Church, founded the CCC in the 1950s. He was a man who believed in integration. Today this choir has more than 3,000 members. Rachel Andrews, a member of the choir for ten years, stated that "We were singing music that crossed the lines on both ends. We had white kids singing solos on black gospel songs. We were taught to be all as one."
I loved the portraits of the CCC interspersed with historical tidbits and period civil rights photographs. This book demonstrates the importance of song in the history of the movement from African music to Lead Belly and Woody Guthrie. The included 18 track CD, Songs On The Road to Freedom, is worth the price of the book. Listening to the phenomenal blending of voices was a rare treat. There are several tracks with a capella singing. It is available as an MP3 download on Amazon where you can see the titles.Freedom Song: Young Voices and the Struggle for Civil Rights Overview
