Big Bill Broonzy; We Are Americans Too Nat King Cole; Blowin' in the Wind Bob Dylan; People Get Ready Impressions; Say It Loud-I'm Black and I'm Proud James Brown; Stand! Sly & the Family Stone; the Revolution Will Not Be Televised Gil Scott-Heron; Inner City Blues Marvin Gaye, and more including a song-and a written introduction-by Chuck D!
