Please continue to get comfortable in your vulnerability as we reflect upon and answer the following questions:

1. What are your thoughts and feelings after reviewing the materials? What surprised you? What did you learn?
2. What songs are familiar to you? Listen carefully to the lyrics. Explore how the thoughts and feelings of the civil rights movement and fight for racial and social justice are expressed in the lyrics. Journal your thoughts and feelings when listening to each song.
3. Consider that five decades have passed since the release of What’s Going On. The song addresses racial tensions, police-community tensions, and climate change. Consider the lyrics: “What’s going on” and “There’s too many of you crying . . . there’s far too many of you dying.” Reflect upon the fact that in the past year, COVID-19 has highlighted longstanding systemic health inequities and has disproportionately affected communities of color.
4. Explore your personal playlist. Which of the songs listed above are on your playlist? Would you add any of these songs to your playlist?
5. Continue reflecting upon the question: “What would America be like if we loved Black people as much as we love Black culture?”
