For this assignment, utilize social media (Facebook, Twitter, TicToc, Snapchat, Instagram) digital media (online newspapers such as the StarTribune, Nytimes, CNN.com, etc) as well as online news outlets (WCCO.com, Foxnews.com, etc) in order to survey the music,songs, chants, anything musical associated with initial protests, the ongoing protest, and the current action so rebuild the community and push for social change.
Questions to answer: what type of music, chants, songs, sounds did you hear? What genres of music? What was the messaging? Was it effective? Was the there crowd participation? Was it call and response? Does this, looking back, appear to be effective?
Are these protests sustainable, and can the musical soundtrack remain consistent going forward?
As individuals, you are all connected with different people in different ways. Specifically note the types of clips/footage circulating in your own personal feeds/devices/platforms in this paper. Why do you supposes this was the way it was?
If you attended in person any of the protest or community building events in the past weeks, include your firsthand live knowledge or experience in this paper.
