Let's Talk Black Anthems, Part II

from We the (Black) People Hosted by Brooklyn J-Flow

I promised you a part 2 and here it is! This episode continues the discussion of Anthem: Social Movements and the Sound of Solidarity in the African Diaspora with Professor Shana Redmond. The anthems this time around are: 01:25 - “We Shall Overcome” Before it was an anthem of the Civil Rights Movement, Black women used the song to fuel the Charleston tobacco strike. Their efforts brought the song into the Civil Rights Movement. 15:44 - “To Be Young, Gifted and Black” is an anthem signaling the change from nonviolence to Black power both for Nina Simone and for Black People. 33:14 - "Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika" a song that spans the long history of South African apartheid. The African National Congress spread the song and its call for a liberated Africa around the world.
