A Change Is Gonna Come: Music, Race & the Soul of America

Description

The title is a Nina Simone anthem, and the book lives up to it. Craig Hansen Werner traces the Civil Rights Movement through the songs that powered it — from the spirituals that sustained activists to the anthems that forced a nation to listen. He shows how music became a weapon, a refuge, and a declaration of dignity in an era when black Americans were fighting for their basic rights.\n\nWerner's prose captures the urgency of the 1960s while honoring the long history that preceded it. He doesn't just recount history; he demonstrates how the rhythms and melodies of the Black experience became the soundtrack for liberation. The book is a testament to the power of art to change hearts and open eyes, and it is a must-read for anyone interested in American music or the fight for equality.\n\nOrder your EPUB copy today and experience one of the most moving accounts of music and the Civil Rights Movement ever written.
