Protest Songs
Shelter day 77, June 6th, 2020—installment 27s of live-streamed, all-vinyl DJ sets while we’re sheltering during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The global uprising initiated by the killing of George Floyd brought the plight of black Americans into sharp focus. While the BLM movement and power of social media have initiated a powerful awakening, the scars of racism run deep. This mix looks back at civil rights and black power songs from the 60s-70s—music of protest and hope. Enjoy!
