Join the College of Humanities and Sciences for a special lecture by Eric S. Slater from the Richard T. Robertson School of Communication, Virginia Voice and WRIR-LP 97.3 FM Richmond, about the protest music that played alongside the major social movements from the 1960s to today. Listen to clips from Bob Dylan and Joan Baez to Marvin Gaye, Helen Reddy and Bruce Springsteem to Kendrick Lamar and Bad Bunny and discuss the impact of music on our democracy. Slater will take his audience on a tour from the Freedom Summer and March on Washington in the 1960s to the louder and angrier rock music during the Vietnam War Protests and to the biting social critiques across all music genres from the 1980s to the present.

Registration forthcoming.
