Welcome to the Sounds of the Civil Rights Movement page — a Smithsonian Folkways compilation that captures the spirit and history of the 1960s civil rights era. This isn’t a single artist or band; it’s a curated collection of songs, speeches, and performances that highlight the soundtrack of a pivotal period in American history. Launched on August 6, 2013 to mark the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, this project serves as an accessible entry point for new listeners while offering a rich archive for researchers and enthusiasts alike. While there aren’t publicly listed 2025 tour dates or venues for this compilation, you can still secure your seats to related live performances or events featuring artists who engage with civil rights history and commemorative programming through curated concerts and educational initiatives.
