Freedom Songs

Freedom Songs are musical pieces created during social and political movements, like the Civil Rights Movement, to inspire, unify, and empower communities advocating for change. They often carry messages of hope, resilience, and resistance, reflecting shared struggles and aspirations. These songs serve as tools for mobilization, preserving collective history, and expressing cultural identity. Rooted in oral traditions, they reinforce solidarity and maintain morale among activists, playing a crucial role in mobilizing support and fostering a sense of community during times of social upheaval.
