#Candie Carawan

[workingclasshistory]

On this day, 14 February 1882, the radical hobo, author, songwriter, and member of the revolutionary IWW union, T-Bone Slim, was born. Slim worked many jobs throughout his life: he was, at various times, a lumberjack, a track worker, a harvest labourer, a cook, and a waterfront worker. For over 20 years, Slim was also the IWW's most prolific and well-read columnists while his song, The Popular Wobbly, would be covered by Pete Seeger, and then later again by Candie Carawan as part of the civil rights movement.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day

On this MLK Day we present a 1963 songbook of anthems for the civil rights movement, We Shall Overcome! Songs of the Southern Freedom Movement, compiled by American folk musicians and civil rights activists Guy and Candie Carawan and published in New York by folk music publishers Oak Publications. The Carawans were involved in the Highlander Research and Education Center where Guy Carawan was the music director. American civil rights leader Julian Bond credits Carawan with introducing the song “We Shall Overcome,” which descended from a late 19th-century gospel hymn by Charles Albert Tindley, at the founding meeting of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in Raleigh, North Carolina, in 1960. From there, it spread orally and became an anthem of Southern African American labor union and civil rights activism.  

This collection includes over 40 protest songs of the civil rights movement, including “I'm Gonna Sit at the Welcome Table,” “We Shall Not be Moved,” “This Little Light of Mine,” “Ballad of the Student Sit-ins,” “Which Side are You On?,” “Freedom’s Comin’ and It Won’t Be Long,” “Come and Go with Me to That Land,” “Woke Up This Morning with My Mind on Freedom,” “The Hammer Song,” “We’ll Never Turn Back,” and “Keep your Eyes on the Prize.” Guy Carawan wrote many of the arrangements with American composer and musicologist Joseph Byrd. Folklorist and musicologist Ethel Raim served as the music editor and noted author and activist Julius Lester was the editorial assistant.

How Did Music Impact The People

Jazz and Gospel helped Americans fight through many historical situations. Mostly African American music played an important role in the Civil Rights Movement. Many artists came together in collaboration to help the people. It was a way of motivation. They performed in large meetings and through publications. They would sing these songs to help large marches keep the spirit up. As well as psychological strength against harassment and brutality, but also was a way to transition in public speakers presentations. One main group in the gospel industry that helped these marches last was folksingers Guy and Candie Carawan they sang "Tree of Life," "Eyes on the Prize," and "We Shall Overcome." These types of songs helped people have hope and pride in what they are fighting for.
