It was a song of hope for slaves and was inspired by the Igbo tribesmen from Nigeria who chose to be dead than serve as slaves. Sang also by black soldiers during the Civil War, Oh Freedom became an anthem of the civil rights movement in the 1960s, especially when Joan Baez provided her own rendition.
