Pamela Means is a  singer-songwriter, jazz musician ,  activist , and educator. This family-friendly event, part-performance and part-presentation, explores the origin stories and lineages of protest songs, how their meanings and effects continue to transform through time and space, and how they have inspired--and continue to inspire--movements and cultural shifts within the realms of racial and social justice.

In addition, Pamela also shares her own experiences with becoming an artist and using her voice. A curated rotating assortment of original songs and select, recognizable covers are integrated into the presentation as a powerful demonstration of how grounding, unifying, and mobilizing protest songs can be.

Presented by the Friends of the Duxbury Free Library
