[@grammyj17988]

@SugarBlueHarp ~ yes it means just as much today! My older brother was a fan and he had the earlier hits. I made a cd when president Obama was first elected. This song, Sam Cooke’s a Change is Gonna Come and Nina Simone’s Young Gifted & Black we’re the first three that spoke to the occasion. Lyrics and music were equally powerful but missing now 🤔

[@andrad.rivers3729]

I remember this song when I was a little girl. What a time to be a black child during the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements! This song, Sly's song "Everyday People" and James Brown's "Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud!" spoke to not only the Black adults, but to the hearts and minds of Black children growing up in the 1960s and 1970s!

[@galepeterson3798]

This is so true. I grew up during that time and we were proud to be black. We didn't use bleaching cream and wore our Afros and natural hair styles proudly. Where did those days go? What happened to our Black Pride?

[@andrad.rivers3729]

Yes, growing up as a Black child during the Black Power Movement (1967-80) was empowering on the Black child's psyche and self-esteem. We received messages of pride about our blackness thru our music, seeing pictures of Black success stories and people, having quality mentors who cared about us and our futures, seeing positive symbols of blackness, and experiencing the inclusion of Black history/studies curriculum in the schools and colleges. All of these things helped us embrace our blackness with pride and hope. What a great time to be a Black child growing up during that period.

[@Mia7189]

Andra D. Johnson Agreed. Amazing time to see change happening. I was 8 years old in '67 and living in the south side of Chicago. Songs like this and James Brown's 'Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm proud' was a constant on WVON.

[@brownmajic48]

This song was the anthem for the civil rights movement.

[@fostermac7170]

+Tony T What's good about it is that we all knew what the song meant. It was as if it was written directly to us to chronicle the progress we were making. From a past impression point of view, this song was popular during a time when few people had air conditioners, so when you played or walked thru neighborhoods, the song was blaring out of people's windows. It was just a privilege to be alive during those days.

Curtis Mayfield was the most influential writer and performer of his day! Not only writing hits for the Impressions but for many other artists. His influence on 60's modern soul and the northern soul sound is monumental! And in their own right, they were dynamite LIVE!

As I listened to the Impressions hits as I got older, Their songs had strong messages to our people when Motown stay away from politics in the 60's. As many have wisely commented on, we need more strong message songs like this one and "People Get Ready", "Choice of Colors" and others.
