Freedom Songs: Selma, Alabama
Recorded by Carl Benkert, March 15-18, 1965, Selma, Alabama | Released by Folkways Records, 1965

Berlin Wall Oh, Freedom!

We’re gonna break this Berlin Wall, Berlin Wall, Oh, freedom, oh, freedom, oh, freedom over me,
Berlin Wall over me,
We’re gonna break this Berlin Wall in Selma, And before I’ll be a slave, I’ll be buried in my grave
Alabama And go home to my Lord and be free

We’re gonna stay here ‘til it fall, ‘til it fall, ‘til it fall No more Jim Crow, no more Jim Crow, no more Jim
We’re gonna stay here ‘til it fall in Selma, Alabama Crow over me, over me
And before I’ll be a slave, I’ll be buried in my grave
Hate is the thing that built that wall, built that wall, And go home to my Lord and be free
built that wall
Hate is the thing that built that wall in Selma,
Alabama We Shall Not Be Moved
Tell Mayor Smitherman, we shall not be moved
Love is the thing that’ll make it fall, make it fall,
make it fall
Refrain:
Love is the thing that’ll make it fall in Selma,
Just like a tree that’s planted by the water
Alabama
Oh, we shall not be moved
We’re gonna stand here ‘til it fall, ‘til it fall, ‘til it fall
All the state troopers, we shall not be moved
We’re gonna stand here ‘til it fall in Selma, Alabama
Tell Governor Wallace, we shall not be moved
Come by Here We love everybody, we shall not be moved
Come by here, my Lordy, come by here
Oh, Lord, come by here We shall not, we shall not be moved

Wallace needs you, won’t you come by here

Oh, Lord, come by here

We need you, Lordy, won’t you come by here

Oh, Lord, come by here

Everybody Wants Freedom

Everybody wants freedom,
Everybody wants freedom,
Everybody wants freedom, freedom, freedom

LBJ wants freedom,

their concert.

$5,000 funds one Connection Day, a special workshop that

brings together CCC students from different neighborhoods
to learn new music and choreography while forging
meaningful bonds with their CCC peers.

$2,500 funds an international tour scholarship, creating

the opportunity for a CCC singer to experience the
transformative power of travel and become an ambassador
of our city and mission.

Neighborhood Choir singer from a low-income household.
You have the opportunity to give that student access to
a safe, nurturing after-school environment in their own
community.

$500 funds one bus trip for 50 singers to special

performance opportunities with collaborators like Ravinia
Festival and Chicago Symphony Orchestra. You have the
opportunity to make participation in special projects with
world-class artists possible for all students by removing the

Choir singer. You have the opportunity to bring the sense of
pride and belonging that comes with wearing a CCC uniform
to a singer who otherwise could not afford it.

to music in over 37 languages and from a wide range of
cultures, genres, and time periods.
