This album was originally called "The Shadow Suite" because the record company thought it was too controversial to call it "The Freedom Suite." That company was Prestige Records. It is funny how facts change over time !

What's the name for the song at the very beginning?

Well, I think it's false to say this was the first jazz instrumental piece to act as a piece of social commentary. Look at any of Ellington's major suites from the 40s, or Tone Parallel to Harlem. There were many compositions which dealt with the everyday experience of African-American life.
