Episode 5
It is described as a summer that changed the lives of millions. A summer that opened the eyes of a nation. A summer that helped propel a movement. As we get ready to enter the Summer season and reflect on the events of the past few weeks – in particular the Derek Chauvin trial in Minnesota – it only feels right that we examine our own pivotal summer which NPR has dubbed the Summer of Racial Reckoning: the Summer of 2020. And on this episode, we will have the students take part in the discussion right along with us. Just as they have in the past, artists responded to the “Racial Reckoning” through their talent and their voices. This episode explores the summer of 2020, Black music and citizens viewpoints.
