Join the American Studies program and the Music Department in Dunn A for this multimedia presentation and conversation with Dr. William McKeen (Professor of Journalism at Boston University and AMST Faculty at BSU) on defiant and dissenting voices in American music.

"Dissent is as American as apple pie. For generations, artists have created songs and stories to protest injustice. In this multimedia presentation, Bill McKeen presents and discusses some of the music that brought about social change."
Q&A to follow.

Pizza and dessert will be served. Open to the public.
