Description

Come explore how popular music became a powerful voice of protest during the Vietnam War era. Through 20 influential songs presented in chronological order, we will trace how American attitudes toward war, government, and social change evolved from the early 1960s through the mid 1970s. Designed especially for senior citizens, the course emphasizes storytelling, historical context, and shared listening experiences rather than technical music theory. Many of these songs were written and released during your lifetime—and may be deeply connected to personal memories of news events, family experiences, military service, college campuses, or social movements of the time.
