Respect: Soul Music and the Civil Rights Movement
Gospel and folk music were important in the struggle for equality, but soul music also inspired and united Americans. Soul artists like Aretha Franklin and Florida’s own Sam and Dave and Timmy Thomas supported Dr. Martin Luther King directly, and their music and messages, along with Sam Cooke and Curtis Mayfield, became anthems of the movement. John Capouya, author of the award-winning book Florida Soul, tells this important story in words, images, and stirring soul music from the 1960s and 1970s.

John Capouya, author, journalist, and former professor at the University of Tampa will tell the story of the soul music that was the soundtrack of the Civil Rights Movement.  To learn more about John Capouya and the other artists involved in our Juneteenth Celebration.
