In spring 2018, Brown University's Department of Africana Studies kicked off 50 Years Since '68 [https://www.brown.edu/academics/africana-studies/events-programs/50-years-68], a year-long initiative that reflects on the meaning and significance of that year and examines the state of the world a half-century later. One of the events in the initiative was Music of 1968: A Change is Gonna Come, a four part series highlighting the music and movements of 1968. We interviewed several participants in that event: artist, activist, critic, and curator Vicki Meek; reggae musician and educator Ibo Cooper, broadcaster and musicologist Dermot Hussey, and the "dean of Boston Jazz Radio" Eric Jackson. Listen to our conversation about dance, reggae, jazz, race, and the connections between social protest and art.
