From the Chicago Children's Choir to the SNCC Freedom Singers, this resource examines the churches and groups that worked to counteract segregation, transforming traditional spirituals to fit the struggle for civil rights. The galvanizing roles of numerous songs are discussed in detail, such as “Lift Every Voice and Sing," “Precious Lord, Take My Hand," “Wade in the Water," and “We Shall Overcome." An accompanying CD, Songs on the Road to Freedom, features the Chicago Children's Choir performing the songs discussed throughout the book.African AmericansCivil rightsHistory20th centuryJuvenile literatureCivil rights movementsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryJuvenile literatureYouthPolitical activityUnited StatesHistory20th centuryJuvenile literatureAfrican AmericansMusicPolitical aspectsHistory20th centuryJuvenile literatureMusicPolitical aspectsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryJuvenile literatureSingingPolitical aspectsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryJuvenile literatureChoirs (Music)Political aspectsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryJuvenile literatureChurch musicPolitical aspectsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryJuvenile literatureAfrican AmericansCivil rightsHistoryCivil rights movementsHistoryYouthPolitical activityHistoryAfrican AmericansPolitical aspectsHistoryMusicPolitical aspectsHistorySingingPolitical aspectsHistoryChoirs (Music)Political aspectsHistoryChurch musicPolitical aspectsHistory323.0973Turck Mary1646934MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815689603321Freedom song3994199UNINA
