In this episode of Everything’s Political, Junius Williams speaks with Rutha Mae Harris, an original member of the SNCC Freedom Singers, speaks about the political power of music during the Civil Rights Movement, freedom songs, Albany Movement, and protest music are at the heart of this episode of Everything’s Political.
Rutha Mae shares how freedom songs were born from gospel, spirituals, and everyday Black musical traditions and how those songs strengthened people in marches, churches, and jail cells. She reflects on growing up in segregated Albany, Georgia, joining the movement, singing at mass meetings, and why she believes the movement could not have happened without music.
This episode is a moving look at Black history, movement-building, protest music, voting rights, and the role of song in political struggle.
