Annotation
"Everybody's Got a Right to Live" (Broadside Records # BR 308), a contemporary folk album collaboration between .... Kirkpatrick had an interesting political career in edition to his musical work. Born in Haynesville, Louisiana in 1933, he established in 1964 the CORE Group - Congress of Racial Equality - in Jonesboro, Louisiana, a key civil rights movement in the United States.1 Following threats of violence from locals and the Ku Klux Klan, he helped in the organisation of the Deacons for Defense and Justice, another civil rights group that called for self-defence methods to oppose racial abuse. He later joined Martin Luther King Jr.'s Southern Leadership Christian Conference.2 Musically, he also collaborated with Pete Seeger - Ballads of Black America. Both Kirkpatrick and Collier appeared on the compilation The Best of Broadside 1962-1988 released by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings in 2000.
