Mississippi Goddam
"Mississippi Goddam" is a song written and performed by American singer and pianist Nina Simone, who later announced the anthem to be her "first civil rights song".
It was released on her album "Nina Simone in Concert" in 1964.
The album was based on recordings of three concerts she gave at Carnegie Hall in 1964.
The album was her first release for the Dutch label Philips Records and is indicative of the more political turn her recorded music took during this period.
Simone composed "Mississippi Goddam" in less than an hour.
Together with "Four Women" and "To Be Young, Gifted and Black", it is one of her most famous protest songs and self-written compositions.
In 2019, "Mississippi Goddam" was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Nina Simone
Eunice Kathleen Waymon (February 21, 1933 – April 21, 2003), known professionally as Nina Simone , was an American singer, songwriter, musician, arranger, and civil rights activist.
Her music spanned a broad range of musical styles including classical, jazz, blues, folk, R&B, gospel, and pop.
The sixth of eight children born to a poor family in Tryon, North Carolina, Simone initially aspired to be a concert pianist.
With the help of a few supporters in her hometown, she enrolled in the Juilliard School of Music in New York City.
She then applied for a scholarship to study at the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, where she was denied admission despite a well-received audition, which she attributed to racial discrimination.
In 2003, just days before her death, the Institute awarded her an honorary degree.
To make a living, Simone started playing piano at a nightclub in Atlantic City.
She changed her name to "Nina Simone" to disguise herself from family members, having chosen to play "the devil's music" or so-called "cocktail piano".
She was told in the nightclub that she would have to sing to her own accompaniment, which effectively launched her career as a jazz vocalist.
She went on to record more than 40 albums between 1958 and 1974, making her debut with "Little Girl Blue".
She had a hit single in the United States in 1958 with "I Loves You, Porgy".
Her musical style fused gospel and pop with classical music, in particular Johann Sebastian Bach, and accompanied expressive, jazz-like singing in her contralto voice.
