STORY BEHIND THE SONG
HONORING THE LEGACY OF THE PROTEST SONG
Stories Behind the Songs celebrates the transformative power of song. Throughout history, movements for social change have utilized the power of song to recount history and to inspire the people along their journey towards justice. Stories Behind the Songs brought singer/activists into the jail classroom to focus on social movements throughout the last and current century — including the Labor Movement, the Civil Rights Era, and contemporary struggles for racial and economic justice.
both these projects were brought into the jail and schools to each about the important social movements – I don't know how much we need to center it around the actual school projects – or just around the installation and exhibitions that we created.
