American History in Six Songs

Matt Jennings, PhD

Whether you’re in Macon, Memphis, Muscle Shoals,

or Massapequa, music matters, and our varied

musical heritage is one of the best ways to

understand crucial moments in American history.

This course will explore Indigenous expressions,

colonial invasion, forced African migration, and the

cultural shifts of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries.

Through the interplay of genres and traditions, we’ll

examine how music captures the evolving American

Experience.
