This song – based, of course, on “This Land is Your Land” – was written by activists Don Rose and Wayne Willy to promote the Boycott. So far, we know that Lorne Cress Love (interviewed in our film), Curtis Muhammad, and Charles “Chico” Neblett of the Freedom Singers all performed on the track. This recording was broadcast on 98.7 WFMT’s “Midnight Special” the Friday before the Oct. 22 School Boycott.
