"It is difficult to recall the Civil Rights movement in the US without remembering the songs that were very much a part of it."
I find that too JC ,but isn't it mainly a fairly wealthy,Caucasian, recollection?
Over here in uk whenever there are documentaries,reusing all the old footage,it is usually about how the nice white folks sang songs that broke the chains of the oppressed.(no it isn't but you could get that impression)
May be some of you that were actually there could post some links where we could go have a look or a listen to some more relevant and less well used songs?
