Music of the African American Civil Rights Movement

Music "Strange Fruit" by Billie Holiday Southern trees bear strange fruit Blood on the leaves and blood at the root Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze Strange fruit hanging from the popular trees Pastoral scene of the gallant south The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh Then the sudden smell of burning flesh Here is fruit for the crows to pluck For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop Here is a strange and bitter cry

Music "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" by Louis Armstrong Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Nobody knows but Jesus Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Glory Hallelujah -repeat verse- Sometimes I'm up and sometimes I'm down Yes lord, you know sometimes I'm almost to the ground O yes, Lord, still -verse 1- You got here before I do O yes Lord, don't forget to tell all my friends I'm coming too "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" by Louis Armstrong

Oh, Lord, no more Ku Klux Klan! Name me someone who's ridiculous, Danny. Governor Faubus! Why is he so sick and ridiculous? He won't permit integrated schools. Then he's a fool! Oh Boo! Boo! Nazi Fascist supremacists Boo! Ku Klux Klan (with your Jim Crow plan) Name me a handful that's ridiculous, Danny. Faubus, Nelson Rockefeller, Eisenhower Why are they so sick and ridiculous? Two, four, six, eight: They brainwash and teach you hate. H-E-L-L-O, Hello

Music "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you And I think to myself what a wonderful world. I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night And I think to myself what a wonderful world. The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people going by I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do They're really saying I love you. I hear babies cry, I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll never know And I think to myself what a wonderful world Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world. "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong
