Music: What you see in the microscope in response to and as a forecaster of social justice
The arts have been a method of communicating the experience of society within and reacting to social justice. Music has a historical record of representing all sides of the aisle. In this presentation we will identify examples of this as well as studying the predictable nature of how we grow through the process of making and consuming music.
