This article presents information on a Negroes group of performing arts, known as Freedom Singers, who reportedly have played a major role in mobilizing people during the integration movement in the U.S. by means of performing "freedom songs." Members of the Freedom Singers are Bernice Johnson, Rutha Harris, Cordell Hull Reagon, and Charles Neblett, among which all have served time in jail for civil-rights activities. Coming from the front lines of the integration battles, the Freedom Singers have made ideal stage interpreters of the Negroes' battle hymns.
