A few years ago, NPR embarked on a terrific yearlong series called American Anthem, focused on the songs that rouse, unite, celebrate and call to action.
In that spirit, WCBU asked student producer Samantha Hill to make a Highway 309 playlist of her own — featuring songs inspired by and coming out of the civil rights movement. It's a good listening companion heading into Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, Jan. 16.
Listen to the playlist below. And follow WCBU's music service Highway 309 on Spotify.
Listen to Highway 309 on-air weekends and overnights on WGLT and WCBU, and streaming 24/7 on both station websites.
