Melding memorable music and inspiring history, Freedom Song presents a fresh perspective on the civil rights movement by showing how songs of hope, faith, and freedom strengthened the movement and served as its voice. In this eye-opening account, you'll discover how churches and other groups--from the SNCC Freedom Singers to the Chicago Children's Choir--transformed music both religious and secular into electrifying anthems that furthered the struggle for civil rights.   From rallies to marches to mass meetings, music was ever-present in the movement. People sang songs to give themselves courage and determination, to spread their message to others, to console each other as they sat in jail. The music they shared took many different forms, including traditional spirituals once sung by slaves, jazz and blues music, and gospel, folk, and pop songs. Freedom Song explores in detail the galvanizing roles of numerous songs, including \"Lift Every Voice and Sing,\" \"The Battle of Jericho,\" \"Wade in the Water,\" and \"We Shall Overcome.\"   As Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., and many others took a stand against prejudice and segregation, a Chicago minister named Chris Moore started a children's choir that embraced the spirit of the civil rights movement and brought young people of different races together, young people who lent their voices to support African Americans struggling for racial equality. More than 50 years later, the Chicago Children's Choir continues its commitment to freedom and justice. An accompanying CD, Songs on the Road to Freedom, features the CCC performing the songs discussed throughout the book.

It is a cherished belief within physical education and sport communities that participation in sport/ physical activity has the potential to offer young people a range of physical, psychological and social benefits. More recently in the UK, this belief has become prominent in government policies that, among other things, are seeking to re-engage disaffected young people in order to increase their life chances and minimise the impact of anti-social behaviours upon others. Yet, the link between physical activity interventions and developing pro-social behaviours is not straightforward, and there is a lack of credible research evidence to support many of the claims made for physical activity to or to inform decisions about effective intervention design. This paper reviews key literature, focusing particularly on disaffected young people and physical activity interventions in the school context, and identifies six key issues that, we would argue, warrant consideration when planning physical activity programmes to re-engage disaffected young people. In particular, it is argued that the unprecedented levels of public and private funding available for physical activity related programmes in the UK, and the high expectations placed upon them to deliver specific measurable outcomes, mean that the need for credible monitoring and evaluation is pressing.

The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine how African American young adults think about health and Wellness in relation to their family and childhood experiences and how those experiences impact their perceptions of health and Wellness in young adulthood. Twenty-five African American young adults participated in the study. Data collection took place at a Historically Black College. Physical, mental, and spiritual health were all included as contributing factors to living a healthy lifestyle. Further family and school experiences were cited as influences on health in Wellness during childhood. The study concluded that childhood and family experiences do indeed impact perceptions of health and Wellness in young adulthood.

The choreography and aikido-based exercises that I introduced during the rehearsal process offered a vehicle through which the ensemble was able to explore movement as a form of storytelling, discipline, relaxation, concentration, and conflict resolution. Because the final performance took place at a professional venue that was neither LPBC nor UCSB and included a post-performance discussion with the audience and cast, the final performance was an opportunity to transgress racial, social, and economic borders, allowing the cast to gleam, if only for a moment, a world of opportunities beyond the walls of carceral systems, be they the school or the prison. Unlike traditional forms of writing, in the United States, these vernacular forms of knowledge-production ignited the evolution of hip-hop aesthetics starting in the late 1960s and early '70s, coinciding with the popularization of the kung fu cultural revolution in cinema (Kato 179). [...]martial arts, along with graffiti and break dancing, became a part of America's city landscapes against the backdrop of broken writing on broken walls, breaking racialized borders through soundscapes and visual inscriptions. [...]the aikido-based movement and choreography, in conjunction with dance, mask-making, and construction of the actual script, were vehicles through which company members could recover their voices and own the stories of their own odysseys. According to the \"Executive Summary\" in the January 2012 \"South Coast Task Force on Youth Gangs Annual Report,\" there were approximately 32,655 youths ages 5-19 years living in Santa Barbara County.

The study of recreation in correctional settings has received little attention, and the majority of available research focuses on incarcerated youth. The article examines research on recreation in youth and adult correctional settings and explains the implications for correctional recreation professionals. (SM)
