This episode of Cool Tunes for a Hot planet is all about the power of music to help bend the arc of the moral universe. Today we highlight songs about social injustice, asking questions like who are we, and where are we going? Song is the most sacred form of peaceful resistance, and we need to sing it over and over, as was done during the Civil Rights movement with the anthem We Shall Overcome – a song we’ll take a deeper dive into, looking at its cross-cultural importance as far away as India – and ending the episode with a newer, country gospel song that celebrates lifting up our voices to raise the truth on high.
