Pamela Means presents The Power of The Protest Song: Our Shared History & Present Day.

Part-performance and mini-presentation, this family-friendly public event will explore the origin stories and lineages of protest songs, how their meanings and effects continue to transform through time and space, and how they have inspired–and continue to inspire–movements and cultural shifts within the realms of racial and social justice. In addition, Pamela will also share her own experiences with becoming an artist and using her voice. A curated assortment of original songs and select, recognizable covers will be integrated into the presentation as a powerful demonstration of how grounding, unifying, and mobilizing protest songs can be.

This program is supported in part by a grant from Truro Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
