Where are the activists? Where is the protest music?

For this podcast episode, I am going to break down the rise and fall of SNCC. The fall of SNCC also coincides with the rise of Africana Studies departments on PWIs. This led to a brain drain of humanities professors at HBCUs to higher-salaried Black professors at PWIs. For the pop culture section, I question whether pop music can be radical. Instead, I ask us to look at genres like punk for protest music. In the policy section, I will develop an outline for a union of musicians, producers, and songwriters. For the next episodes, I will detail policies to assist with increasing participation in humanities degrees.
