That is why there is a folk culture tent at Resurrection City and why a special culture department is being organized by the Southern Christian Leadership Conferene: To en courage all minority groups to keep alive the music, poetry and drama of their entire ex perience.

One of the things on which they collaborated was the rec ord of freedom longs, "Every body's Got The Right to Live." Working with them is Anne Romasco, another New York er. She has worked with black and white students at the Highlander Folk School in Tennessee, using art, litera ture and dance as the media for developing understanding. She believes the Campaign's cultural programs will be a principal vehicle for the resi dents of Resurrection City to share their distinctive folk traditions. The committee plans to bring in well-known folk artists to the City—and to bring out musicians and artists from among the residents them selves. Afternoon sessions have been held already—on the his tory of work songs and spirit uals, Gospel music, blues anf country music, through tapes and live performances by sing ers from St. Simon Island, one of the Georgia Sea Islands. One evening recently, many groups at Resurrection City contributed to a program that included harmonicas, trumpets, guitars and rums—and a whis ky bottle that sounded much like a triangle. Indians sang their songs, speaking of their solidarity with all the poor— and were likened to black lead ers such as the Rev. Dr. Mar tin Luther King, Jr., "them people who know how to talk music." The Georgia islanders sang of rural suffering; folk guitarist Elizabeth Cotton per formed, as did Bernice Reegan, the singer from Atlanta, who plans to help develop the SCLC cultural activity. Pete Seeger's ballads climaxed the program. E. F. MOITOW On Nixon Committee NEW YORK E.
