- **Event Description**: An Evening with author James SullivanAbout this EventFREE ADMISSION"Protest" music is largely perceived as an unsubtle art form, a topical brand of songwriting that preaches to the converted. But popular music of all types has long given listeners food for thought. Before the United States entered World War I, some of the most popular sheet music in the country featured anti-war tunes. The labor movement of the early 20th century was fueled by its communal "songbook." The Civil Rights movement was soundtracked not just by the gorgeous melodies of "Strange Fruit" and "A Change Is Gonna Come," but hundreds of other gospel-tinged ballads and blues. Author James Sullivan will discuss how protest songs have given voice to the needs and challenges of a nation and asked its citizens to take a stand — asking the question, "Which side are you on?”James Sullivan is a longtime arts and culture reporter for the Boston Globe and the author of five books.. He was an editor for Rolling Stone and a staff writer for the San Francisco Chronicle. He teaches journalism at Emerson College, serves as program director for the Newburyport Documentary Film Festival, and is co-curator of the concert series "Which Side? A Protest Music Teachout."https://www.whichside.boston
