Protest Song in Civil Right Movement in the US

Music as a Tool for Social Change: Protest Song in Civil Right Movement in the US Introduction Music is life. Music is everything we see around. It gives movements to motionless objects, and makes silence loud. Music is emotions and feelings that overpower us each second of our life, even in deep sleep. Each individual, animal, plant, or even stone, carries music through it. All what is needed is to learn how to listen to it. As Stuart Stotts shared, Music has the power to bring people together, give strength, to lift spirits, to provide hope. People everywhere have always turned to music during times of trouble and triumph, despair and celebration. Some particularly powerful songs are sung again and again until they become permanent part of our history.
