SELMA FREEDOM SONGS A Documentary Recording by Carl Benkert FH 5594

INTRODUCTION

Those who made the journey to Selma at the time of the march to Montgomery am. shared the frustrations and fears of the Black Belt Negro, even if only for a few hours, were privileged to see life 1n a vital totality never otherwise experienced. Values and purposes became clear and concise as they took their place beside their oppressed brother in the non-violent battle ~,inst man's barbarous mistreatment of his fellow man. P:llrough all ___ the events of those days music was an essential element; music in Bong expressing hope and sorrow; music to pacify or excite; music with the power to engage the intelligence and even touch the spirit. In these circum­stances of tension many freedom songs were adapted or created to suit contemporary situations, ideas or per­sonalities. Names llktt..Al-.lJngo and Jim CliJrk came to sound as established in Americana as casey Jones.Jme song which is repeated several t1.mes~s~oduct of the

----selma sfruggle. A young Negro entering a Oowntown 1lardware store was asked by the clerk, "Which side are ~n, Boy?" For his reply, "rm on the side of free­dom", the clerk produced an axe handle and beat him.

Monday, March 15th. In the morning, a half block from Brown A. M. E. Chapel on Sylvan street, marchers turned back in the week before were still maintaining their vigil of prayer and song. Here a new march at­tempt was halted bringing several hundred demon­strators against a hundred or more troopers and troop­ers and police. The tension that followed was broken by Hosea Williams of Dr. Martin Luther King's SCLC staff who led the marchers in traditional spirituals. (Side One, Bands 1, 2) A barricade, tabbed the Berlin Wall, previously set up by the police to define the line of re­strictiont was now reerected as the singing continued into the aay. (Side One, Bands 3

J 4, 5) Inside, Brown

Chapel was crowded with people lrom all parts of the country Singing before the speeche"& and prayers mark­ing the death of Rev. James Reeb. (Side One, Bands 6, 7, 8) Afterward Dr. King led them in a march to the Dallas County courthouse placing a wreath at the door.

'l\lesday, March 16th. During the day, James Orange, an SCLC worker, directed the group gathered. in Brown Chapel in song (Side One, Band 9) later sending them out in pairs to visit homes in the Negro neighbor­hoods of Selma. It was profountlly impressive to see the visiting clerics, Duns and laymen moving out in all directions, hand in hand with their guides, mostly children, to be personally introduced. to people and COD­ditions. Several march attempts in the afternoon were turned back by Sheriff Jim Clark and another in the early evening was stopped and confined just outside Brewn Chapel by Commissioner of Public Safety Wilson Baker. Finally, Sitting on the church steps and side­wa.l.k. the demonstrators sang forth for hours often with words devised in that moment to speak to the officers and troopers present. (Side One, Bands 10, 11, 12)

...- Wednesday March 17th. Two little girls, about five years old, wfto were frequently in the forefront of the group singing in Brown Chapel, sang alone for this re­cording. (Side Two Band 3) Outside in the backyards I had just passed other youngsters engaged in their game "State Trooper" in which half the number lined up locked arms, and proceeded to march singing "We Shalf Overcome", then were set upon and beat down by the others wielding sticks and branches. In situations like these, one must observe the tragedy: that the misdeeds of our immature society are imprinted in the minds of innocent children.

Thursday, March 18th. In the Zion Methodist Church of Marion, where Jimmie Lee Jackson was killed, an evening mass meeting was attended to overflowing by residents and visitors who had spent the day workin~ in the counties north of Selma. (Side Two, Bands 4, 5) Participating in "We Shall Overcome" is always a mOving occasion for the spirit, but this was for the few outsiderf present the most powerful and electrifying yet experi", enced. The meeting was reluctantly dismissed by AI Turner but the enthUSiastic young folks stayed on to sing with big James Orange. (Side Two, Bands 6, 7)
