Playing Rosa's Tune - Music of the Civil Rights Struggle

on BBC Radio 4 FM

3/3. The arrest of Rosa Parks is said to have ignited the civil rights movement in America, a movement, that was undoubtedly helped by the songs that accompanied it. As momentum grew, black singers with their roots in the Southern Christian Church were joined - some say usurped - by white folk singers. Stephen Evans concludes his series.
Repeated on Saturday at 3.30pm
