The Role of Radicalism in African-American Protest Music
“WE’D RATHER DIE ON OUR FEET THAN BE LIVIN’ ON OUR KNEES” THE ROLE OF RADICALISM IN AFRICAN-AMERICAN PROTEST MUSIC, 1960 – 1990: A CASE STUDY AND LYRICAL ANALYSIS Master’s Thesis in North American Studies Leiden University By Roos Fransen 1747045 10 June 2018 Supervisor: Dr. S.A. Polak Second reader: Dr. M.L. de Vries Contents Introduction 3 Chapter 1: Nina Simone and calling out racism 12 Chapter 2: James Brown, black emancipation and self-pride 27 Chapter 3: Public Enemy, black militancy and distrust of government and 40 media Conclusion 52 Works cited 56 2 Introduction The social importance of African-American music originates in the arrival of African slaves on the North American continent. The captured Africans transported to the British colonial area that would later become the United States came from a variety of ethnic groups with a long history of distinct and cultivated musical traditions. New musical forms came into existence, influenced by Christianity, yet strongly maintaining African cultural traditions. One of the most widespread early musical forms among enslaved Africans was the spiritual. Combining Christian hymns and African rhythms, spirituals became a distinctly African- American response to conditions on the plantations slaves were forced to work1. They expressed the slaves’ longing for spiritual and physical freedom, for safety from harm and evil, and for relief from the hardships of slavery. Many enslaved people were touched by the metaphorical language of the Bible, identifying for example with the oppressed Israelites of the Old Testament, as this spiritual Go Down Moses illustrates: Go down, Moses Way down in Egypt's land Tell old Pharaoh Let my people go2 The spiritual is inspired by Exodus 8:1, a verse in the Old Testament.

AN ANALYSIS of the MUSICAL INTERPRETATIONS of NINA SIMONE by JESSIE L. FREYERMUTH B.M., Kansas State University, 2008 a THESIS S
AN ANALYSIS OF THE MUSICAL INTERPRETATIONS OF NINA SIMONE by JESSIE L. FREYERMUTH B.M., Kansas State University, 2008 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC Department of Music College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2010 Approved by: Major Professor Dale Ganz Copyright JESSIE L. FREYERMUTH 2010 Abstract Nina Simone was a prominent jazz musician of the late 1950s and 60s. Beyond her fame as a jazz musician, Nina Simone reached even greater status as a civil rights activist. Her music spoke to the hearts of hundreds of thousands in the black community who were struggling to rise above their status as a second-class citizen. Simone’s powerful anthems were a reminder that change was going to come. Nina Simone’s musical interpretation and approach was very unique because of her background as a classical pianist. Nina’s untrained vocal chops were a perfect blend of rough growl and smooth straight-tone, which provided an unquestionable feeling of heartache to the songs in her repertoire. Simone also had a knack for word painting, and the emotional climax in her songs is absolutely stunning. Nina Simone did not have a typical jazz style. Critics often described her as a “jazz-and-something-else-singer.” She moved effortlessly through genres, including gospel, blues, jazz, folk, classical, and even European classical. Probably her biggest mark, however, was on the genre of protest songs. Simone was one of the most outspoken and influential musicians throughout the civil rights movement. Her music spoke to the hundreds of thousands of African American men and women fighting for their rights during the 1960s.

00:00:00 Music Music “Crown Ones” off the album Stepfather by People Under The Stairs 00:00:05 Oliver Wang Host Hello, I’m Oliver Wang. 00:00:06 Morgan Host And I’m Morgan Rhodes. You’re listening to Heat Rocks. Rhodes Every episode we invite a guest to join us to talk about a heat rock. You know, fire, combustibles, an album that bumps eternally. And today we will be deep diving together into Nina Simone’s 1969 album, To Love Somebody. 00:00:22 Music Music “I Can’t See Nobody” off the album To Love Somebody by Nina Simone fades in. A jazz-pop song with steady drums and flourishing strings. I used to smile and say “hello” Guess I was just a happy girl Then you happened This feeling that possesses me [Music fades out as Morgan speaks] 00:00:42 Morgan Host Nina Simone’s To Love Somebody turned fifty this year. It was released on the first day of 1969, the same day the Ohio State beat the University of Southern California at the Rose Bowl for the National College Football Championship. It was her 21st studio album. There were dozens more still to come. You know them. Black Gold, Baltimore, Fodder on My Wings, stacks of albums. By the time we met up with Nina again for these nine songs, she had already talked about on “Mississippi Goddamn”, “Backlash Blues,” and “Strange Fruit,” and been about it with her activism, lived, spoken, suffered for. To Love Somebody is an oral representation of what breathing on a track means.

Onno Kosters Date: 4 July 2016 16.000 words ex. quotes Faculteit Geesteswetenschappen Versie september 2014 VERKLARING KENNISNEMING REGELS M.B.T. PLAGIAAT Fraude en plagiaat Wetenschappelijke integriteit vormt de basis van het academisch bedrijf. De Universiteit Utrecht vat iedere vorm van wetenschappelijke misleiding daarom op als een zeer ernstig vergrijp. De Universiteit Utrecht verwacht dat elke student de normen en waarden inzake wetenschappelijke integriteit kent en in acht neemt. De belangrijkste vormen van misleiding die deze integriteit aantasten zijn fraude en plagiaat. Plagiaat is het overnemen van andermans werk zonder behoorlijke verwijzing en is een vorm van fraude. Hieronder volgt nadere uitleg wat er onder fraude en plagiaat wordt verstaan en een aantal concrete voorbeelden daarvan. Let wel: dit is geen uitputtende lijst! Bij constatering van fraude of plagiaat kan de examencommissie van de opleiding sancties opleggen. De sterkste sanctie die de examencommissie kan opleggen is het indienen van een verzoek aan het College van Bestuur om een student van de opleiding te laten verwijderen. Plagiaat Plagiaat is het overnemen van stukken, gedachten, redeneringen van anderen en deze laten doorgaan voor eigen werk. Je moet altijd nauwkeurig aangeven aan wie ideeën en inzichten zijn ontleend, en voortdurend bedacht zijn op het verschil tussen citeren, parafraseren en plagiëren. Niet alleen bij het gebruik van gedrukte bronnen, maar zeker ook bij het gebruik van informatie die van het internet wordt gehaald, dien je zorgvuldig te werk te gaan bij het vermelden van de informatiebronnen.

Oscarssowhite & the Problem of Women Musicians on Film
Cover: Pat O’Neill Untitled (shades) 1974 35 mm film mounted in glass, straight-grain Douglas fir wood frame 23 x 17 inches Table of Contents Anna Shechtman: Introduction Daphne Brooks: “Ain’t Got No, I Got Life”: #OscarsSoWhite & the Problem of Women Musicians on Film Jerome Christensen: Pure as Jesus and Cunning as Satan K. Austin Collins: Stakes Is High: On Spike Lee’s Chi-Raq J.D. Connor: Making Things Right: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens Derek Nystrom: Of Christians and Communists: Joel and Ethan Coen’s Hail, Caesar! — INTRODUCTION — Hollywood’s Self-Critique: Five Essays on Race and Class at the Movies Chris Rock’s monologue at this year’s Academy Awards — in which he called Hollywood “sorority racist” and the event itself the “White People’s Choice Awards” — was deceptively consistent with the industry’s own self-critique featured in many of this year’s top-grossing and critically acclaimed films. Hollywood, it seems, has learned to parry generic attacks on the industry’s sexism, racism, and classism with genre films that keep the system well oiled and, perhaps, the critics at bay. The five essays featured in this collection concern films that seek absolution for the industry’s consistently unsavory politics by addressing Hollywood’s politically incorrect history in their stories or backstories. Indeed, these are mostly historical films that depict racial protest and class warfare from the perspective of an industry that continually finds itself on the wrong side of American history when it comes to issues of race and class. Jerome Christensen writes about Trumbo, a biopic about Hollywood’s most successful blacklisted screenwriter, and a film whose producers nonetheless obfuscate its own shady production history.

What Happened, Miss Simone? Discussion Guide
www.influencefilmclub.com What Happened, Miss Simone? Discussion Guide Director: Liz Garbus Year: 2015 Time: 101 min You might know this director from: Love, Marilyn (2012) Bobby Fischer Against the World (2011) Shouting Fire: Stories from the Edge of Free Speech (2009) Yo soy Boricua, pa’que tu lo sepas! (2006) Girlhood (2003) The Nazi Officer’s Wife (2003) The Execution of Wanda Jean (2002) FILM SUMMARY Many a soul has waxed lyrical on the impact and artistry of Nina Simone, her “coffee and cream” voice, her poignant lyrics, her political engagement, her womanhood. In an effort to reveal the whole human picture of this wonderfully real woman, WHAT HAPPENED, MISS SIMONE? devotes itself to both the dark and the light in her 70-year-long life journey. As the director of Netflix’s first original commissioned documentary, Liz Garbus searched for every piece of evidence connected to Nina Simone. Collecting audio material, video footage, diary entries, and sitting down with those who knew Simone in her most intimate guises - including her daughter Lisa Simone Kelly, her long- time guitarist Al Schackman, and Malcolm X’s daughter Ambassador Shabazz - Garbus pieces together an emotionally raw, musically diverse, and psychologically intense perspective on the effervescent Nina Simone. Whether a long-time lover of Simone or someone to have stumbled across this documentary in Netflix’s offerings, WHAT HAPPENED, MISS SIMONE? appeals to sensibilities and sensitivities across a wide range of interests. From her involvement in the civil rights movement of 1960’s U.S.A. to her battle with manic depression and physical abuse - both received and delivered - Simone lived life to the fullest.

Claridad: Leaders and Players Leaders and Players: The Role of Jazz Artists as Civil Rights Activists Jonathan Claridad The 1960s was a time for massive cultural movement, and a notable aspect of this period was the relationship between music and the political voices of the time. One such relationship was in part due to the tensions over civil rights rising to a head, bridging the political desires of African Americans to much of the music produced at the time, particularly in jazz. Even beyond simple civil rights advocacy, the music and writings of jazz artists were voices of challenge to much of the status quo. From Max Roach’s condemnation of America’s checkered past to Nina Simone’s reclamation of both black and female artisanship, jazz musicians were at the forefront of expressing the suffering and the injustice that permeated the lives of African Americans.

Radical Traditions of Black Feminism, Musicking, and Myth Within the Black Public Sphere (Civil Rights to the Present)
THE DISCOURSE OF THE DIVINE: RADICAL TRADITIONS OF BLACK FEMINISM, MUSICKING, AND MYTH WITHIN THE BLACK PUBLIC SPHERE (CIVIL RIGHTS TO THE PRESENT) by Issac Martel Carter A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL August 2015 Copyright 2015 by Issac Martel Carter ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express sincere gratitude to my family and friends, my committee, and the Orisha, griots, and ancestors who have guided me throughout this life. I am blessed and highly favored. iv ABSTRACT Author: Issac Martel Carter Title: The Discourse of the Divine: Radical Traditions of Black Feminism, Musicking, and Myth within the Black Public Sphere (Civil Rights to the Present) Institution: Florida Atlantic University Dissertation Advisor: Dr. Derrick White Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Year: 2015 The Discourse of the Divine: Radical Traditions of Black Feminism, Musicking, and Myth within the Black Public Sphere (Civil Rights to the Present) is an exploration of the historical precursors and the contemporary developments of Black feminism in America, via Black female musical production and West and Central African cosmology. Historical continuity and consciousness of African spirituality within the development of Black feminism are analyzed alongside the musical practices of two Black female musicians, Nina Simone and Me’shell Ndegéocello. Simone and Ndegéocello, The High Priestess of Soul and the Mother of Neo-Soul, respectively, distend the commodified confines of Black music and identity by challenging the established norms of music and knowledge production.
