“…[T]he 1968 Poor People’s Campaign was grounded in a spirit of solidarity, of reconciling a troubled past, and of finding the dignity in all people. Nowhere did that emerge more poignantly than in the movement’s songs.” There There is a monthly audio investigation and celebration of performance and performance sounds.
