*DISCLAIMER* This is an episode from my former show What’s the Moooove that focused on Black music history. Once upon a time I had two radio shows here on BFF.fm but as a Virgo tends to do, I was stretching myself thin. I have since decided to combine both shows so that you the listener can get aaaaalll the musical black history you can get. Enjoy this throwback for the archives, I hope you learn something new :)
I’m going to be talking about the influence gospel music had on the civil rights movement. Everything from the labor unions uniting in the churches to what happened on May 5, 1963 in Birmingham, Alabama.
We’re officially locked in to finish the gospel series. I’m excited to share with you!
