Huddie recorded this magnificent song several times. Only once(to the best of my knowledge) did he sing the line "Heard a white man say, don't want no niggers up there". Usually he sang "no coloureds up there". You could feel the (usually repressed) anger come out in this song. If there is an earlier recorded "political protest" song by a black artist that was this direct, I can't think of it.

I still listen to this song today with awe. The power in his voice and accompaniment is unmatched. The guy had guts to spare.
