Music and the Civil Rights

How did music affect the Civil Rights movement? Singers and musicians collaborated with ethnomusicologists and song collectors to disseminate songs to activists, both at large meetings and through publications.
Why was music such a powerful force? Music is a language of emotion in that it can represent different feelings in ways that just talking cannot.
Name a few;
- I'm A Believer - The Monkees
- Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison
- Let It Be - The Beatles
