Pandemic presents:
In honor of MLK and the recently departed John Lewis and the civil rights leaders and all people out there fighting the good fight. Tonight we listen to songs that sustained the civil-rights movement in the 1960s (and beyond) through the setbacks, the hardships, the failures and the many hard-won successes that have moved America closer to racial equality, and songs that examine the reality that we have still have a long way to go.
