13. MUSIC IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT
Warm up:
How do you think songs played a role in the Civil Rights Movement?
How were songs used as a tool in protests?
A way to SPREAD AWARENESS.. Just like other forms of media we’ve already discussed in class. Just like TV and Newspapers, … radio! Easily accessible and FREE. What do songs have the power to do? If I’m super sad, I’m not going to listen to sad music. If I need lifting up, I’m probably gonna listen to happy things. Working out: intense music.
