“It Ain’t Me: Vietnam War Protest Music”

Popular culture has always been affected by war. Artists often use their respective mediums as a form of expressing their support, or distaste, of U.S. involvement in world conflicts. This was never more apparent than in music during the Vietnam Era. This talk will look at music during this time and what it meant to Americans at home and abroad
