In this series of meetings in English, we invite participants to listen to the sounds of the protest song of the XNUMXth and XNUMXst century in the United States. Each session will focus on a specific American social movement and the music inspired by it.
For this first introductory session we will focus on the song “Strange Fruit”—against lynching in the southern US—which was originally a poem written by Abel Meeropol in 1936.
It will be a cycle of 10 sessions with three municipal public libraries in the downtown area and a presentation session in the library of the International Institute.
