On this month's "There There," host Alanna Medlock features excerpts from the NYS Poor People's Campaign Concert and Jam, featuring protest songs from the past and present, performed by a lineup of contemporary musicians and movement leaders. Recorded live on May 17 at the Interference Archive in Brooklyn, NY.

 “…[T]he 1968 Poor People’s Campaign was grounded in a spirit of solidarity, of reconciling a troubled past, and of finding the dignity in all people. Nowhere did that emerge more poignantly than in the movement’s songs.” There There is a monthly audio investigation and celebration of performance and performance sounds.
