This richly illustrated and beautifully written book reveals the inspiring, healing, and liberating power of song in social struggle. It is a major contribution to our heritage and it should be read and treasured by freedom- and justice-loving people everywhere. -- <b>Coretta Scott King</b><br><br>More than a songbook, this collection places the important repertoire of the civil rights movement in historical perspective with photographs, interviews, and oral histories of activists. Guy and Candie Carawan traveled throughout the South in the early 1960s with tape recorder, guitar, and banjo in hand--taking part, joining in the music, and collecting the songs and experiences of those making history. This book breathes with the spirit of those exciting times. -- <b>Harry Belafonte</b><br><br>Music is powerful; it can bring joy, laughter, sadness, and most importantly, change. <em>Sing for Freedom: The Story of the Civil Rights Movement Through Its Songs</em> is a look at music and its impact on the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Packed with sheet music, lyrics, and information on various major songs and how they pushed progress in history, <em>Sing for Freedom</em> is enhanced with black and white photographs. A fresh perspective on the period, <em>Sing for Freedom</em> is highly recommended for community library black studies and music collections. -- <b><em>The Midwest Book Review</em></b><br>
