This interactive workshop will explore the history, circumstances, and meanings behind some of the most famous protest music from the artists who created it such as Marvin Gaye, Nina Simone, Sam Cooke, Queen Latifah and Kendrick Lamar. Participants will engage in a discussion about the meaning behind the lyrics, the purpose of each protest song, and the artists’ responses to the social, political, and economic landscape during the times the works were written.
