This week's discussion prompt: After having read and watched the material on Paul Robeson, consider the roles of musicians as activists. In the lecture video I gave you another example, Marian Anderson, and how her powerful performance on Easter Sunday in 1939 galvanized the Civil Rights movement. For this discussion board you have two parts for your initial post: 1. Discuss the roles of musicians as activists; 2. Give an example of another musician activist and what they did (what was their activism about).
Create a post that gives your opinion of the role of musician activists. You do not have to agree that musicians should insert themselves into public life, or perhaps you believe they should – this initial post tell why or why not musicians should be social activists. The second part: – write about a musician that you have found that used their music as a platform for change.
