Pamela Means presents The Power of the Protest Song: Our Shared History & Present Day. Equal parts performance and presentation, this family-friendly public event will explore the origin stories and lineages of protest songs and how their significance resonates across time and space. Throughout the presentation, Means will elucidate how music has underpinned and inspired struggles for racial, gender, and economic justice and share her own trajectory as an artist who became committed to using her "voice" for political change. Pamela will also "call the audience in" to the experience of collective and joyful mobilization through music by interweaving performances of original protest songs and recognizable "sing-along" covers. Registering below allows us to plan for headcount and keep you updated in case of any changes. This program is supported by a grant from the Lexington Council for the Arts, supported by the Mass Cultural Council
