"Social justice is not charity, it's not something we give away when it's convenient—it's about transforming the very structures of society so that everyone can thrive." – Dr. Reiland Rabaka
In Episode 18 of The Cause: Conversations on Music, History, and Democracy, we conclude our Justice Series with a powerful exploration of Social Justice. Dr. Reiland Rabaka examines how movements for equity, access, participation, and human dignity are essential to building a truly democratic society.
This episode brings into focus the historical struggles and the ongoing fight to ensure that marginalized communities are not only seen but fully empowered. Dr. Rabaka draws connections between cultural activism, civil rights traditions, and present-day movements for justice, challenging listeners to rethink what fairness and equality mean in practice.
Whether you've been following from the beginning of the Justice Series—Environmental Justice (Ep. 16) and Food Justice (Ep. 17), or are joining us for the first time, this conversation highlights the transformative power of collective action and the deep moral imperative to center human rights and dignity.
Tune in and be part of the dialogue that seeks not only to understand history but to shape a more equitable future.
