2) What is Reed's argument about why music was so important to the Civil Rights movement? What are some of the specific roles it played in the movement? How does this relate or compare to your own experiences of the role of music in everyday life, or the relation of music to politics?
Reed belives that music is a very important part of the civil rights movement as so do many others belive also.Reed makes the argument that the music was more to people then just lyrics and soft meldy. The songs they use were mostly gospel spiritual songs. these songs would givie people hope and inspire them, the people could relate to these songs and the pain in them that some of the songs were change to talk about issues at that time. The relationship between music and politics is that you can use music as a tool to get your political views out there. and the use of lyrics can really make a impression on people.
