“Imagine” by John Lennon is next on our playlist of protest songs to celebrate Dissent!
Released in 1971, “Imagine” sends a strong political message, inviting its listeners to imagine a world in which they were not divided.
Next on our protest playlist for Dissent: “A Change Is Gonna Come” by Sam Cooke.
One of the most profound songs of the 1960s, this “brooding but bright” civil rights anthem recently marked its fiftieth anniversary, but remains as timeless as ever.
Next on our protest playlist for Dissent: “Ohio” by Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young.
“Ohio” was written about the events of May 4, 1970, when the US National Guard shot and killed four unarmed students during an anti-war protest at Ohio’s Kent State University. The song was released 10 days after the shootings.
You’re invited! Celebrate Dissent with us on May 12 at NYU’s Tamiment Library. RSVP now.
The Spirit instantly appeared to me and said the Serpent was loosened, and Christ had laid down the yoke he had borne for the sins of men, and that I should take it on and fight against the Serpent.
