from Trey's Table · host Trey Smith

Trey’s Table Episode 253: Sun City **🎙️ New Episode Alert! 🎙️** **Episode 253: Sun City & the Anthem That Shook Apartheid** This week on *Trey’s Table*, we’re diving into the story of **Sun City**—the luxury resort in South Africa that became a symbol of apartheid’s hypocrisy. Built during the height of apartheid, Sun City was a playground for the rich and famous, but it also became a battleground for justice. In this episode, we explore how **Little Steven** and **Artists United Against Apartheid** created the iconic protest song *“Sun City”*—a powerful anthem that united over 50 artists, from Bruce Springsteen to Run-D.M.C., in the fight against apartheid. This song wasn’t just music; it was a movement. It brought global attention to the cultural boycott and helped isolate the apartheid regime on the world stage. Join me as we unpack: ✨ The history of Sun City and its role in apartheid propaganda ✨ The cultural boycott that challenged artists to take a stand ✨ The legacy of *“Sun City”* and its impact on the anti-apartheid movement This is a story of art, activism, and the power of collective action. Tune in to hear how a song helped change the world. 🎧 **Listen now** wherever you get your podcasts! 📲 Share this post and tag a friend who loves history, music, or activism. #TreysTable #AfricanAmericanHistory #SunCity #Apartheid #LittleSteven #ProtestMusic #BlackHistory #Podcast #MusicHistory #Activism
