MONSON, INGRID, 'Activism and Fund-Raising from Freedom Now to the Freedom Rides', Freedom Sounds: Civil Rights Call Out to Jazz and Africa (New York , 2007; online edn, Oxford Academic, 1 Jan. 2010), https://doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780195128253.003.0005, accessed 24 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
This chapter shows that fund-raising events in 1960 and 1961 responded to an intensification of the civil rights movement in the wake of the Student Sit-Ins, and reveal a strong interest among jazz musicians in the civil rights struggle. For the most part, these performances benefited mainstream civil rights organizations, although the black nationalist issues raised by Malcolm X and the Nation of Islam (such as economic and political self-determination) simmered in the background. During the next few years, as the violent suppression of the civil rights movement continued, these background issues came to the foreground.
