Create playlist
Visit the First Amendment Museum’s virtual exhibit Protest Music: Songs and Free Speech. Read the information on the home page of that exhibit and click on Parts 1-4 if you have time. Part 5 is the main part of this assignment, however. Read the opening paragraph of that page, then click on a few of the videos as you read about each one.
This assignment asks you to develop your own Protest Music Playlist, following these steps.
Find five songs that express discontent with a specific social injustice. You may NOT use the videos on Part 5, but you can use this Spotify Playlist from NPR’s “We Insist” series. All five songs can be about the same issue , but they MUST be by five different artists. Finally, all songs must be from the 21st century (no throw-back 1960’s songs, please).
Provide the following information:
