Next class we will be covering social protests of the 1950s and 1960s, particularly the Civil Rights Movement. Write a post that includes 2 videos (or a link to video/audio). One should show a protest song produced between 1960 and 1970 (the message can be about civil rights, peace, or any other social cause). The other should be a protest song produced between 2000 and 2011. Both songs should be new to the blog. Write 1-2 paragraphs comparing and contrasting the two songs. Explain what is being protested in each song and what terms are used to express protest. What has changed about social protest between the 1960s and the 2000s, and how specifically do these songs show that change?
