Section Title: IASJA:Black Music&Soc Justice Section Info: IAPSJA: Black Music & Social Justice. This course explores how African American musicians have used music to accomplish political tasks, including raising awareness, creating a sense of community, and directly lobbying for political and social change. Moving chronologically from music in Abolition to the Black Lives Matter campaign, we will critically examine the successes and failures of these movements and the ways in which they deployed music. An important part of the course will be engaging with a contemporary movement for social justice, either as a scholar-observer or as a participant. Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
