Rationale: No idea is more fundamental to American sense of self than freedom. To the United States, freedom and liberty are interchangeable and seemingly universal. However, that is misleading.
Freedom is not fixed or a lone definition; rather, it is an ideal as well as a reality. Because the United States is a free country, the act of protesting is one of the most precious liberties that Americans possess. Protests can happen in the streets; however, music has been a longtime outlet for dissent. Music has been the viaduct of American protest movements through rock, hip-hop, and folk music. Vietnam, unequal distribution of wealth, minority treatment, police brutality, presidential elections, and more protest topics have been covered through music.
With this primary source question, the meanings of freedom will be explored, as well as the social conditions that make freedom possible in the United States. In addition, the boundaries of freedom will be a focus, including the myth of freedom, and how freedom is juxtaposed off of servitude.

QUESTION ONE:
Perhaps no movement has utilized music within its confines than the African American Civil Rights Movement. This movement morphed into the Black Power Movement, and then into the Black Lives Matter Movement. This movement covers basic rights, equality, police brutality, and general socioeconomic conditions of African Americans since the early twentieth century.
