What do you know about the SCLC? Are you aware of how instrumental they were to the civil rights movement of the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s? From the Montgomery Bus Boycott to the sit-ins, from the March on Washington to the civil rights acts, the SCLC and its members led the charge or played a pivotal role in most of the civil rights achievements during that era. Remarkably, the leaders were mostly in their twenties and late teens, the youth of their time. What many do not know, and even fewer knew before seeing Ava DuVernay’s multi-award nominated film “Selma,” produced by Oprah Winfrey, is that the tactics utilized to achieve civil rights successes were thoroughly planned-out, practiced, organized and local. Those tactics are waiting to be used with great success, again, under the leadership of our youth.
Join us on our journey to reinvigorate the SCLC and introduce its successful tactics to new generations of leaders.
On this journey, we will use the power of music, specifically hiphop, to reach and encourage our youth. Music was always a major element of the fight for civil rights and justice. From Mahalia Jackson’s rendition of the folk song, “We Shall Overcome,” to Sam Cooke’s, “A Change Is Gonna Come,” from Billie Holiday’s rendition of the poem, “Strange Fruit,” to James Brown’s, “Say It Loud,” having inspirational music performed at events helped civil rights organizations raise funds and get the message out. During long marches, songs were sung to motivate the marchers. And music was also used for psychological strength to help endure the harassment and brutality during the march, or simply to pass the time while waiting for direction or the next move.
At the end of this initial phase of our journey we will establish a presence with our youth at the intersection of civil rights activism and hiphop music and entertainment.
