From the mournful call of the Negro spiritual to the cry of protest and purpose that truly signifies the African-American experience from the mid-1950s to late 1960s, We Shall Not Be Moved is an hour-long concert presentation focusing on the music that captured the essence and call of the Civil Rights Movement. This concert experience presents popular songs associated with the Civil Rights cause as well as poignant readings from leaders, activists and spokespersons of the time calling to mind the struggle and promise of what was to come. You’ll hear songs such as “Oh, Freedom!”, “People Get Ready”, “Go Down, Moses”, “The Times They Are A-Changin’”, “Lift Every Voice And Sing”, “A Change Is Gonna’ Come” and many celebrated others. Baritone Keith Spencer is accompanied by Peter Hilliard in this moving musical experience.
