Abstract

In 1968, America was in the middle of two “insurgencies” of sorts. One was the fighting in Vietnam, which had just entered its third year, and the growing discomfort at home with the progress of the war. The other involved the increased efforts to achieve racial and ethnic equality in America, which was exploding into violence with the death of Martin Luther King Jr. Against this backdrop, the music and art scene was undergoing a revolution of its own, particularly with the growing popularity of soul music and the emergence of hip-hop’s foundations.
