  11. Music of the African American Civil Rights Movement

  12. Music • "Strange Fruit" by Billie Holiday Southern trees bear strange fruitBlood on the leaves and blood at the rootBlack bodies swinging in the southern breezeStrange fruit hanging from the popular treesPastoral scene of the gallant southThe bulging eyes and the twisted mouthScent of magnolias, sweet and freshThen the sudden smell of burning fleshHere is fruit for the crows to pluckFor the rain to gather, for the wind to suckFor the sun to rot, for the trees to dropHere is a strange and bitter cry

  13. Music • "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" by Louis ArmstrongNobody knows the trouble I've seenNobody knows but JesusNobody knows the trouble I've seenGlory Hallelujah-repeat verse-Sometimes I'm up and sometimes I'm downYes lord, you know sometimes I'm almost to the groundO yes, Lord, still-verse 1-You got here before I doO yes Lord, don't forget to tell all my friends I'm coming too

  14. Music • "Fables of Fabulus" by Charles Mingus • Oh, Lord, don't let 'em shoot us! Oh, Lord, don't let 'em stab us! Oh, Lord, don't let 'em tar and feather us! Oh, Lord, no more swastikas! 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 supremacistsBoo! Ku Klux Klan (with your Jim Crow plan) • Name me a handful that's ridiculous, Danny. Faubus, Nelson Rockefeller, EisenhowerWhy are they so sick and ridiculous? • Two, four, six, eight: They brainwash and teach you hate. H-E-L-L-O, Hello

  15. Music • "What a Wonderful World" by Louis ArmstrongI see trees of green, red roses tooI see them bloom for me and youAnd I think to myself what a wonderful world.I see skies of blue and clouds of whiteThe bright blessed day, the dark sacred nightAnd I think to myself what a wonderful world.The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the skyAre also on the faces of people going byI see friends shaking hands saying how do you doThey're really saying I love you.I hear babies cry, I watch them growThey'll learn much more than I'll never knowAnd I think to myself what a wonderful worldYes I think to myself what a wonderful world.
