The voices and sounds on this CD are but a tiny fraction of a wondrous multiplicity of recorded sound, with in-depth analysis, live coverage, incisive interviews, highly-produced documentaries, poetry, music, and raw materials on many topics--all found in The Freedom Archives.

There's no way we can convey the entire collection on just one CD - that's why we call it Volume 1!
