Movement Soul - Live Recordings Of Songs And Sayings From The Freedom Movement In The Deep South

In the early 1960's, something new happened: a genuine mass movement began in the Deep South. The "revolutionaries" were cotton-pickers, sharecroppers, domestic workers, farmers and housewives. Alongside them stood a handful of civil rights workers, mostly from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), whose reputation for courage and commitment would soon become legendary.
"Beware a revolution that comes singing," someone once said. And these people sang. They also preached, they chanted, they talked. And it was all about one thing: freedom for black people, too long bound in slavery.
