LET FREEDOM RING features compositions by jazz artists who participated in the civic rights movement and shows how these works were tied to specific historic events. By telling the stories behind events such as Brown vs. the Board of Education, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s most famous speech “I Have A Dream,” listeners discover how music can be used to send cultural and political messages of both protest and celebration.
