I will begin with the words of Paul Stamler (Pablo Meshugi) from his playlist of 2/27/00
first broadcast on KDHX -St. Louis.

1. Introduction by Paul:

"This was a special program. In 1964 three civil rights workers -- James
Chaney, Andrew Goodman & Michael Schwerner -- were murdered in Mississippi
for their work in voter registration at a time when only a small
percentage of the black citizens of Mississippi had been permitted to
register. No murder charges were ever filed, although the murderers were
well known throughout the area. In 1999 Michael Schwerner's cousin, St.
Louis artist Barbra Umbogy, went back to Mississippi with "Freedom Ride
99" to remember the three men with a memorial, and to petition for the
reopening of the case, that the murderers might be brought to justice.

On her return, she wrote an essay, "June 21, 1964: The Night Without
Stars". A few weeks ago, she read that essay into my tape recorder,
sitting in a darkened St. Louis loft building as the moon went into
eclipse outside her windows. I edited that tape together with field
recordings from the civil rights movement and music from African-American
tradition to produce this program.

Here was the music that was woven into the show; unless otherwise noted,
all tracks were taken from Voices of the Civil Rights Movement,
Smithsonian/Folkways."
