Episode notes

Few other periods of American history are as emotionally potent and relevant as The Civil Rights movement. While the invention and proliferation of the television gave us a first-hand look at the injustice being inflicted around the nation, the radio provided a timeless soundtrack for freedom fighters and activists everywhere. In today's episode, Melody and Dustin discuss the music of artists like Curtis Mayfield, Gil Scott-Heron, and Marvin Gaye, and how those songs became anthems for generations to come.
