An easy way to stay up to date on issues of equity and justice in the Cook County court system.

Art is a reflection of society, and society is a reflection of art. American music has been a global standard bearer for a century, in part for its ability to shift dramatically with society. Two Motown insiders talk about how the legendary record label resisted and then embraced change in the ’60s.

From WDET, here’s episode 4 of Created Equal: American Hymnal.

Listen to Episode 1, The Kiss.
Listen to Episode 2, Jacking The Media.
