This second volume of MOVEMENT SOUL is not a musical soundtrack to the civil rights movement, but a running commentary on its issues, struggles, and victories. Featuring excerpts of speeches, interviews, reports, and other spoken-word recordings, MOVEMENT SOUL is a fascinating document of the African American experience and its pivotal turning points through the 20th century.
MOVEMENT SOUL plays like a living history lesson, with accounts of sit-ins, anti-segregation demonstrations, voter registration, Brown vs. Board of Education, and other issues. Interspersed through these topical segments are inspirational speeches and songs that carry great motivational power even decades removed from their initial context.
