Reenacts the birth of the Civil Rights movement, documenting the sit-ins, freedom rides, and marches, as well as the violence with which its participants were often met
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Taking its title from a song used in the American civil rights movement of the 1960s, this narrative scrapbook is illustrated with music and words to three dozen songs ("We Shall Overcome" is not among them). Profiles of 15 people active in the movement, anecdotes about many others, and a chronological outline/commentary on events from 1955 to 1968 are linked by the songs, which are presented as having one or two voice lines, usually, with chords suggested for harmony. The authors hope the songs will be sung as reminders of their past power and for use in the future as "brothers, sisters, all: climb Jacob's Ladder," with new words for new populist causes. For general collections.
