sorry this took so long to correct, pretty much had to change all my sources since my paper was too broad...

1 .Dylan, Bob. "Blowin’ in the Wind." Columbia Records, May 1963.

This song has a series of questions that Bob Dylan asks. Generally about when people will stop looking down on others and see the reasons we need to pull together.

2 .Eyerman, Ron and Andrew Jamison. “Social movements and cultural transformation: popular music in the 1960s.” Media, Culture & Society 17 (1995): 449-468.

This article looks at social theory and culture, and how popular music transforms cultures and societies. Three concepts are central to their approach: context, process and articulation. This will be great when talking about the music and how it helped people get on board and fight for civil rights.
3. Garafalo, Reebee. Rockin’ the Boat: Mass Music and Mass Movements. South End Press, 1992.

This book talks about the affect that music has on people, and how it can bring them together. This is especially relevant for this presentation because I am looking at songs that spoke on behalf of millions of people.

4. Vail, Mark "THE 'INTEGRATIVE' RHETORIC OF MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.'S 'I HAVE A DREAM' SPEECH." Rhetoric & Public Affairs 9.1 (2006): 51-78. America: History & Life. EBSCO. Web. 17 Nov. 2009

This article is about Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech. The article focuses on His desires for civil rights. When discussing specific events referenced in songs, I can use this article.
5. Farina, Richard. "Birmingham Sunday." Vanguard Records, 1964.

On a Sunday in Birmingham Alabama there was a bombing of a Baptist church, 4 people died. The song remembers them by name, and talks about the choir, who sang of freedom during the bombing.
