The Long Play - Freedom’s Song: Jazz and the Civil Rights Movement

Program Page: The Fill In

Duration: 30min

On this episode of The Long Play we journey through a soundscape of resistance and resilience — the music that scored the Civil Rights Movement. In a time when the streets were alive with protest and hope, jazz became more than art. It became testimony. Our guide is the music itself — voices that rose against injustice, rhythms that carried both rage and redemption.
