This is a cd that belongs in every collection. It is a Jewish African American celebration of freedom. It explores the shared struggle that was our mutual connection point. The gamut is run from good old fashioned civil rights songs to Irving Berlin's Give Me Your Tired. The high point for me is a reminiscence by Rabbi Arthur Waskow of the life changing experience he had with Fanny Lou Hamer at Democratic National Convention of 1964. The production values are outstanding. This cd works as music and as history. I highly recommend it.
