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 3J 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)
