Adams Follow this and additional works at: http://commons.emich.edu/honors Part of the African American Studies Commons Recommended Citation Adams, Marcus K., "The Racialization of Jimi Hendrix" (2007).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Senior Honors Theses by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@EMU. For more information, please contact lib- [email protected]. The Racialization of Jimi Hendrix Abstract The period of history immediately following World War Two was a time of intense social change. The nde of colonialism, the internal struggles of newly emerging independent nations in Africa, social and political changes across Europe, armed conflict in Southeast Asia, and the civil rights movement in America were just a few. Although many of the above conflicts have been in the making for quite some time, they seemed to unite to form a socio-political cultural revolution known as the 60s, the effects of which continues to this day. The 1960s asw a particularly intense time for race relations in the United States. Long before it officially became a republic, in matters of race, white America collectively had trouble reconciling what it practiced versus what it preached. Nowhere is this racial contradiction more apparent than in the case of Jimi Hendrix. Jimi Hendrix is emblematic of the racial ideal and the racial contradictions of the 1960s.

  • A Change Is Gonna Come
    A CHANGE IS GONNA COME: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE BENEFITS OF MUSICAL ACTIVISM IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT By ERIN NICOLE NEAL A Capstone submitted to the Graduate School-Camden Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Liberal Studies Written under the direction of Dr. Stuart Z. Charmé And approved by ____________________________________ Dr. Stuart Z. Charmé Camden, New Jersey January 2021 CAPSTONE ABSTRACT A Change Is Gonna Come: A Critical Analysis Of The Benefits Of Musical Activism In The Civil Rights Movement by ERIN NICOLE NEAL Capstone Director: Dr. Stuart Z. Charmé The goal of this Capstone project is to understand what made protest music useful for political activists of the Civil Rights Movement. I will answer this question by analyzing music’s effect on activists through an examination of the songs associated with the movement, regarding lyrical content as well as its musical components. By examining the lyrical content, I will be evaluating how the lyrics of protest songs were useful for the activists, as well as address criticisms of the concrete impact of song lyrics of popular songs. Furthermore, examining musical components such as genre will assist in determining if familiarity in regards to the genre were significant. Ultimately, I found that music was psychologically valuable to political activists because music became an outlet for emotions they held within, instilled within listeners new emotions, became a beacon for psychological restoration and encouragement, and motivated listeners to carry out their activism. Furthermore, from a political perspective, the lyrics brought attention to the current socio-political problems and challenged social standards, furthered activists’ political agendas, persuaded the audience to take action, and emphasized blame on political figures by demonstrating that socio-political problems citizens grappled with were due to governmental actions as well as their inactions.

  • Sam Cooke, “A Change Is Gonna Come”
    Sam Cooke, “A Change is Gonna Come” Sam Cooke was one of the pioneers of Soul music, topping the charts with hits such as “Wonderful World” and “Chain Gang.” While he began as a Gospel singer, Cooke’s hits were generally upbeat and rarely if ever crossed into political territory. But by the early 1960s, as the civil rights movement was growing stronger, Cooke became aware of the political power of music. In October, 1963, despite his star status, he and members of his band were arrested when they tried to get a room at a whites- only motel in Shreveport, Louisiana. Cooke recorded “A Change is Gonna Come” that December. It was not a major commercial hit, but it quickly became one of the most influential songs of the civil rights movement. Numerous artists, including Tina Turner, Lil Wayne and Seal, have covered the song. On the night he won the 2008 election, Barack Obama told cheering crowds, "It's been a long time coming, but tonight, change has come to America." Excerpt from Lyrics I go to the movie And I go down town somebody keep telling me don't hang around Its been along time coming But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will Questions for Discussion 1. Cooke was known as one of the most talented vocalists in the history of popular music. How does he use his voice to convey emotion in this song? 2. Do the lyrics refer specifically to the civil rights movement? What story do they tell? 3.

Although there were prior cases decided in the United States and in Europe that, retrospectively, had been litigated from a human rights perspective,' the characterizationof "disability rights" (especially the rights of persons with mental disabilities) was not discussed in a global public, political, or legal debate until the early 1990s. Instead, disability was seen only as a medical problem of the individual requiring a treatment or cure.
