- Comments
- Written as a direct protest against Arkansas governor Orval E. Faubus, Columbia refused to include the lyrics version on "Mingus Ah Um". It was then recorded for Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus, for contractual reasons titled "Original Faubus Fables", with Mingus and drummer Dannie Richmond performing call and response vocals.
