Thanks for your info site, but part of your information is incorrect. By her own account, Bernice Johnson Reagon was NOT the founder of the SNCC Freedom singers. She, Rutha May and Chuck Neblett were recruited to join by Cordell Reagon, who later became her husband!

Album “Broadside Ballads, Vol. 3: The Broadside Singers”, Folkways Records.
Una delle canzoni simbolo del Movimento per i Diritti Civili, che da pure il titolo alla seconda delle due raccolte di “freedom songs” (la prima fu “We Shall Overcome”) compilate da Guy e Candie Carawan tra il 1963 e il 1968 e poi unite nel volume “Sing for Freedom: The Story of the Civil Rights Movement Through Its Songs”.
Il brano, interpretato da Julius Lester, si trova anche nella bella raccolta “Freedom Is a Constant Struggle - Songs of the Mississippi Civil Rights Movement”.
