The Soundtrack to Our Resistance
Part I: The #Our1st100Daze Playlist
Do not be confused; the next 100 days is a time to organize and set forth our own agenda. It is about action not just reaction. This playlist is the beginning of a three-part series featuring the "soundtrack" to our first 100 days during the next phase of the ongoing experiment called the United States of America.
These songs are a collection of 'true school' tracks intended to encourage self-care, celebrate black joy, remind us to "stay woke," and inspire us all to create.
