00:00:00okay next on my list is the civil rights
00:00:03movement now the civil rights movement
00:00:05is very interesting because it spawned a
00:00:07lot of interesting music and basically I
00:00:10mean it was African Americans trying to
00:00:12assert their their civil rights and
00:00:13asking why they weren’t being being
00:00:16treated as human beings in the United
00:00:17States and musically a lot of folk
00:00:21singers became involved with the
00:00:23movement but it also spawned its own
00:00:24performers a guy like Harry Belafonte
00:00:26for example who’s actually someone who
00:00:29who I feel is sort of quintessential of
00:00:31this of the civil rights movement
00:00:33because in addition to being a singer
00:00:36add to to bringing and to telling people
00:00:39about it Harry Belafonte was an
00:00:41african-american man who was who was
00:00:42struggling at the same time with the
00:00:44very issues that he was talking about
00:00:45before he could get up on stage and sing
00:00:48about the issues he had to deal with the
00:00:49segregation backstage and he had to deal
00:00:51with the fact that he had a different
00:00:51place to stay and music was really
00:00:54derived from the earliest songs used to
00:00:56inspire people during slavery and and a
00:00:59lot of people just said that this was
00:01:01just like an extension of their
00:01:03contention that they should be free a
00:01:04song that I absolutely think should be
00:01:07associated with this movement is I shall
00:01:09not be moved a pivotal moment that
00:01:11define this movement is the march on
00:01:13Washington in 1963 where we shall not be
00:01:16moved was actually some final masses
