This second volume continues the journey, chronicling the role this music played in energizing and sustaining those most heavily involved in the civil rights movement.Robert Darden, former gospel music editor for Billboard magazine and the founder of the Black Gospel Music Restoration Project at Baylor University, brings this vivid, vital story to life. He explains why black sacred music helped foster community within the civil rights movement and attract new adherents; shows how Martin Luther King Jr. and other leaders used music to underscore and support their message; and reveals how the songs themselves traveled and changed as the fight for freedom for African Americans continued. Darden makes an unassailable case for the importance of black sacred music not only to the civil rights era but also to present-day struggles in and beyond the United States.Taking us from the Deep South to Chicago and on to the nation's capital, Darden's grittily detailed, lively telling is peppered throughout with the words of those who were there, famous and forgotten alike: activists such as Rep. John Lewis, the Reverend Ralph Abernathy, and Willie Bolden, as well as musical virtuosos such as Harry Belafonte, Duke Ellington, and The Mighty Wonders. Expertly assembled from published and unpublished writing, oral histories, and rare recordings, this is the history of the soundtrack that fueled the long march toward freedom and equality for the black community in the United States and that continues to inspire and uplift people all over the world. 606 $aGospel music$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory 606 $aAfrican Americans$xMusic$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSpirituals (Songs)$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aGospel music$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xMusic$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSpirituals (Songs)$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a780.8996073 700 $aDarden$b Bob$f1954-$01584371 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796611603321 996 $aNothing but love in God's water$93868108 997 $aUNINA
