Description

I visited George Floyd Square in Minneapolis. I was moved, and I made a friend. Butchy Austin, one of the leaders of Brass Solidarity, shares his experience and his music, and launches a typically atypical exploration of protest, liberation, and revolution. Freedom Singers, Stevie Wonder, Peter Gabriel, Nancy Sinatra, Beatles, Kristofferson, of course Prine, and some surprises. BLM.
