Rhythm and Blues wasn’t just a genre—it was a powerful force in the fight for civil rights. In this episode of The Cause: Conversations on Music, History, and Democracy, Dr. Reiland Rabaka explores how R&B artists used their music to challenge injustice, inspire activism, and uplift communities during one of the most pivotal times in American history.
From Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come” to James Brown’s “Say It Loud – I’m Black and I’m Proud”, R&B legends shaped the movement with anthems of hope, resistance, and empowerment. These songs provided a voice for those demanding change, bridging the gap between the struggle and the soundtrack that carried it forward.
Join us as we uncover the deep connection between music and activism, and how these iconic artists helped shape the course of history—one song at a time.
