Book Synopsis We Shall Overcome by : Stuart Stotts

Download or read book We Shall Overcome written by Stuart Stotts. This book was released on 2010-01-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “We Shall Overcome” isn’t a complicated piece of music. The first verse has only twenty-two words, most of them repeated. The melody is straightforward. The chords are basic. Yet the song has had a profound effect on people throughout the United States—and the world. In clear, accessible language Stuart Stotts explores the roots of the tune and the lyrics in traditional African music and Christian hymns. He demonstrates the key role “We Shall Overcome” played in the civil rights, labor, and anti-war movements in America. And he traces the song’s transformation into an international anthem. With its dramatic stories and memorable quotes, this saga of a famous piece of music offers a unique way of looking at social history. Author’s note, bibliography, source notes, index.

Book Synopsis We Shall Overcome by : Isaias Gamboa

Download or read book We Shall Overcome written by Isaias Gamboa. This book was released on 2012. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EVERYTHING you think you know about the song, "We Shall Overcome..".is WRONG. This is the Shocking, Untold Story of the iconic freedom-song, We Shall Overcome and its TRUE author, Louise Shropshire - a sharecropper's daughter and self-proclaimed "nobody," who through love and dedication to God, Gospel-music and the African-American Church, overcomes racism and poverty to find herself in the inner-circle of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, Rev. Thomas A. Dorsey and the Civil Rights Movement. Along her way, Shropshire composes and copyrights a popular Gospel-hymn, which is secularized and hijacked by Pete Seeger and his powerful associates known to insiders as the "Folk Mafia." The sacred song is then unlawfully copyrighted by Seeger and his associates then peddled for untold millions all over the globe by Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Bruce Springsteen and countless others. Featuring more than 160 extraordinary photographs, this well sourced and cited compendium not only describes the disturbing details surrounding the misappropriation of Louise Shropshire's sacred hymn, but also explores the historical attitudes of Black-exploitation, subjugation and racism in America by non culture-bearers. -Attitudes that enabled such an unthinkable act to occur in the first place, and remain unchallenged for half a century. Although the US Library of Congress has called We Shall Overcome; "The Most Powerful Song of the 20th Century..".a song that raked in untold millions in royalties for its hijackers, Louise Shropshire would die penniless and unrecognized.

Download or read book Pete Seeger in His Own Words written by Pete Seeger. This book was released on 2015-11-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long an icon of American musical and political life, Pete Seeger has written eloquently in a diverse array of publications but nowhere is his life story more personally chronicled than in these, his private writings, documents and letters stored for decades in his family barn. Pete Seeger: His Life in His Own Words, collects Seeger's letters, notes, published articles, rough drafts, stories and poetry - creating the most intimate picture yet available of Seeger as a musician, an activist and a family man. The book covers the passions, personalities and experiences of a lifetime of struggle - from the pre-WWII labour movement and the Communist Party, to Woody Guthrie, the Civil Rights movement and the struggle against the war in Vietnam. The portrait that emerges is not of a saint, but a flesh-and-blood man, struggling to understand his time and his place.
