Alongside its history, Jazz has been projected as a voice of the Afro-Americans, and in the U.S., from the end of the 1950's, the relation between this musical gender and politics has been intensified. This study selected Jazz as its object and established a temporal set that ranges from the end of 1950's and the decade of 1960, a moment of great effervescency in what is related to the Civil Rights movements in the States. In this scenario we highlight the drummer Max Roach and one of its works: "We Insist Freedom Now Suits". From this choice we are eager to comprehend the action of Max Roach as a political activist, and so the way he handled to engage the Civil Rights claim.Downloads
