Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me ‘Round
The Music of Civil Rights and Social Change
Our 2nd Tuesday music series, Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me ‘Round: The Music of Civil Rights and Social Change, will present music that reaches back in time to the 1950s and 60s and music that is as new as a CD being released in 2021.
We hope you hop aboard our virtual bus and take a journey through the musical soundtrack of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s and into today’s new movement for civil and voting rights.
