However, that is quite the contrary, as the metropolitan area also experienced forms of racial discrimination and separation. The authors who wrote the piece were writing to a modern reader and to educate them about their latest project on educating people on Civil Rights in Seattle.

Music

The CORE Freedom Singers. "Get Your Rights Jack." Rec. Summer 1963. Voices of the Civil Rights Movement Black American Freedom Songs 1960-1966. Smithsonian Folkways Recordings, 1997. MP3. Music can be a very powerful weapon and has been used as such in many protests. There were many songs that had been used in the protests, but this specifically was one of the few performed by the group known as the CORE Freedom Singers. This song was performed as a means of empowering people, encouraging them to stand up for their rights. This is a very connectable and relatable to my song and the time period, as it was during the civil rights era that many people needed empowerment to stand of for their rights.
