This CD is the outgrowth of the friendship between Black musician/activist
Reggie Harris and Jonathan Kligler, Rabbi of Kehillat Leven Shalem, the
Woodstock Jewish Congregation in New York. Their relationship grew to
include the
Harrises' attendance at the annual Kligler Seders, and the concept for this
collaboration; that oppression, struggle and hope are a common ground
between the
Jewish and African American communities.
Let My People Go interweaves songs in Hebrew from the Passover Haggadah with
traditional Black spirituals, and songs from the Civil Rights era.
Interspersed with the songs are spoken firsthand accounts of watershed
events in the
modern Civil Rights Movement: Juanita Nelson describes her desegregation
battles
in Washington, DC and Cincinnati, Rabbi Arthur Waskow tells of his life
changing encounters with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Other accounts include
Pete
Seeger on the evolution of 'We Shall Overcome', and Sonny Ochs on the songs
her
brother, Phil Ochs, compossed pertaining to conditions in Mississippi.
Included
is a unique verison of Emma Lazarus', "The Collossus" set to Irving Berlin's
"Give Me Your Tired Your Poor" entwined with the spiritual, "Motherless
Child".
