going on in the south. An estimated 4,000 people were lynched with over seventy percent of that number being African-Americans. The uproar of wrongful death spotlighted the abuse African-Americans suffered at the hands of white people. It was in this anger that action was taken and people began to unite in order to make the changes they wanted to see. During the civil rights movement slave spirituals were brought forth from the past, revamped, and merged with church hymns to suit the purpose of the times. Such an example is seen here: From Black Spiritual to Civil Rights Movement Freedom Song: Illustrative Examples Original Black Spiritual Civil Rights Movement Freedom Song Woke up this morning with my mind stayed on Jesus . . .

The church hymn ―Jesus on My Mind‖ was transformed into ―Freedom on My Mind‖ and used, at first by the college activist population. From there, the song as well as its technique spread throughout the movement and became a popular occurrence throughout the movement. Activist Hollis Watkins described it the use of this music as a ―natural entrée into the hearts, souls, and minds of black people in presenting and offering something that was not foreign to them" (American Experience). With these Negro spirituals and church hymns, a sense of comfort was generated at gatherings. The spirituals of the African slaves were belted out for all to here but only a select few to understand. This was not the case when it came to the involvement of slave spirituals during the civil rights movement; all were to hear and know the struggle and its significance. ―We Shall Overcome‖ has been regarded as the anthem of the Civil Rights movement, but there were many other tunes that voices were lent to. Songs such as ―This Little Light of Mine‖ was popular among activists and used nationwide in anything, from activist meetings to protests. In some cases, certain areas had specific music that they sung for their causes. During the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the 400-500 boycotters would sing church hymns; ―Onward Christian Soldier‖ and ―Lift Him Up‖ were popular during that particular situation. Martin Luther King Jr. stated in his book Why We Can‘t Wait, that civil rights activist, ―sing the freedom songs today for the same reason the slaves sang them, because we too are in bondage and the songs add hope to our determination that ‗We shall overcome, Black and white together, We shall overcome someday. ‘‘ Popular music also made its presence known during the civil rights movement. Musicians with opinions on both sides of the matter used their voices and their instruments to speak to their community, and the world. Music itself doesn‘t take sides, musicians do. During the civil rights musicians were on both sides of the argument. Southern singer Johnny Rebel began to release anti-desegregation and anti- racial equality music in the south. Rebel‘s, whose real name is Clifford Joseph Trahan, music was so popular during this time that his album went gold. Some of his most well-known works included, "Who Likes a Nigger?," "Nigger Hatin' Me," "Still Looking for a Handout," "Some Niggers Never Die (They Just Smell That Way)," "Stay Away from Dixie," and "Move Them Niggers North.‖ Rebel‘s music 28
