Title: Singing for Equality
Description: "Before the American Civil War, men and women who imagined a multiracial American society (social visionaries) included Protestant hymns and psalms in their speeches and writings. Music affirmed the humanity and equality of Indians and blacks. Singing and reading Protestant hymns encouraged community formation that led to American human rights activism in the 19th and 20th centuries"--Provided by publisher.
