No 213 Battle Cry of Freedom
by Stanley Ditmer
While the human desire for freedom is universal, the theme is seen here from a distinctly American perspective. Included are the songs "The Battle Cry of Freedom", dating back to the Civil War era - "Nobody knows the trouble I´ve seen", welling up from the souls of African-American slaves before emancipation and "We shall overcome", not only the unofficial anthem for the Black Civil Rights movement but also the hearfelt song on the lips of people everywhere protesting oppression and injustice.
