Music holds memory. It tells the stories that were erased, chants the names that were forgotten, and sings the truths that were once dangerous to speak.
From Miriam Makeba’s protest songs to Fela Kuti’s fearless anthems, music has always been a vessel of survival and resistance. Even today, artists continue to use music to speak truth to power.
Music is the heartbeat of reparations: it keeps memory alive and movement moving.
