An image of the Freedom Singers from p. 22 of the January 22, 1965 issue of The Varsity.

$An image from the January 22, 1965 issue of The Varsity newspaper featuring the six members of the SNCC Freedom Singers with a caption below that reads, "The Freedom Singers, shown in the traditional \'We Shall Overcome\' arm-link, will do a concert in Convocation Hall tongith. At last count, they\'ve been arrested 115 times for \'agitating\'. They are full-time SNCC workers and formed into a folk group during the integration battles in Albany, Georgia. The group changes membership every year and previous versions have appeared at the Newport Folk Festival. There will be no admission charge but a collection to help SNCC\'s work in Mississippi will be taken."$
