“When the world would not listen to what we say, we sang.” – Dr. Reiland Rabaka
In this powerful episode of The Cause: Conversations on Music, History, and Democracy, Dr. Reiland Rabaka explores the deep cultural, spiritual, and political roots of Civil Rights Music—from the sacred sounds of the Black church to the anthems that echoed through marches, protests, and mass meetings.
Drawing connections between gospel, rhythm & blues, rock & roll, and freedom songs, Dr. Rabaka illustrates how music served not only as inspiration but as a vital form of protest and communication when other means were denied. He highlights how artists like Mahalia Jackson, Nina Simone, Sam Cooke, and Aretha Franklin helped craft a soundtrack of resistance—songs that gave voice to struggle, hope, and liberation.
And catch this episode airing next week on Radio 1190 KVCU—Thursdays at 7 a.m.
