    A Friendly Letter Issue Number Seventy-Seven ISSN '0739-5418 Eighth Month, 1987 Dear Friend, It happened again--We got scooped. And not once, but tNice. The topic is marriage: what does it mean among Friends today? What should it mean? Can we be content with the received religious, social and legal definitions of this relationship? What witness ought we to bear in this regard today? These and related questions were on my menu for a possible upcoming issue; but both Friends Journal and the Newsletter of Friends for Lesbian and Gay Concerns beat me to it. FLGe's long article in its summer issue dealt mainly with same- gender marriage, an item which has recently exercized several yearly and numerous monthly meetings; but Friends Journal's piece, by Janet Hemphill Minshall in its 7il-15 issue, dealt with a heterosexual and monogamous, but non-legal union. This is not only a matter of sexual morality: there are other aspects too, such as the tax and public benefit implications for marriages, especially between elderly or disabled people, which have come to some Friends' attention. Weighty matters, these, on which much seeking and threshing is needed; so they may turn up here yet. One other wrinkle that deserves mention here, however, is that the FLGe article in my view marked a transition for its Newsletter. It is rapidly outgrowing its role as an obscure special interest organ, and could become a new Quaker publication with a particular identity but of broad interest and Society-wide implications. It is a journal to take note of.

  • Freedom Movement Memories by Peter Kellman
    Sunday, February 8, 2015 Freedom Movement Memories by Peter Kellman It will soon be 50 years since I took a bus to Selma, Alabama. I was 19 years old. A few months earlier I had moved to an old farm in Voluntown, Connecticut, which was run by a peace activist organization called the New England Committee for Non-violent Action (CNVA). CNVA’s focus at the time was stopping the War in Vietnam. I was sent out with others to speak and protest against the War. I was sent down to Washington to organize demonstrations when the bombing of North Vietnam by our government began. On returning from Washington, CNVA received a call asking for people to go down to Selma, Alabama. As part of Voting Rights organizing project in Alabama, Jimmie Lee Jackson, an SCLC organizer, was murdered by a state trooper on February 18, 1965. Following Jimmie Lee Jackson’s murder a call went out (mainly to clergy) to come to Selma to help give visibility to the struggle there. A march from Selma to Montgomery to protest the slaying of Jimmie Lee Jackson was called. One who answered the call was Unitarian minister named James Reeb. The march, known as Bloody Sunday, took place on March 7th. A few days later, Rev. Reeb was beaten in downtown Selma and died March 11th. Another call went out for people to come to Selma. CNVA responded by sending me. I was given bus money and asked to go to Selma and represent CNVA. On the way down I was told to stop in New York City to talk to Bayard Rustin and get some advice about going south.

  • The Power of Freedom Songs Bruce Hartford
    [Donation Requested] The Power of Freedom Songs Bruce Hartford Excerpted from the Civil Rights Movement Veterans Website www.crmvet.org The Freedom Movement Was a Singing Movement — and Our Songs Were Freedom Songs “The outpouring of freedom songs went to the core of the struggle and expressed, as nothing else was able, the hope, belief, desire, passion, dreams, and anguish of the conflict.” — Mary King, SNCC [1] “We would sing about anything we felt. We would sing about why we sing. We would sing about the abuses we suffered, like not being allowed to vote. We would sing of sorrow and hope.” — Dorothy Cotton, SCLC [3] Sometimes professional performers sang political songs for listening audiences — Nina Simone's Mississippi Goddam, Sam Cooke's A Change Is Gonna Come, Bob Dylan's Blowing in the Wind are examples — but when Movement veterans speak of “freedom songs” we mean the songs that we all sang together. Songs that we sang not as a performance or for entertaining others, not as something to be passively listened to, but as something we ourselves created anew each time we lifted our voices. And it was the act of singing, more than the beauty of the songs, that gave them meaning and power. In a sense the freedom songs are the soul of the movement. They are more than just incantations of clever phrases designed to invigorate a campaign; they are as old as the history of the Negro in America. They are adaptations of the songs the slaves sang — the sorrow songs, the shouts for joy, the battle hymns and the anthems of our movement.
