There is no shortage of books on music and politics, but Anna Harwell Celenza explores an interesting premise in her book On the Record: Music that Changed America (Norton, 2026). Each of the twelve chapters discusses a different instance when music, as Celenza writes, “sparked debates in the halls of Congress.” Arranged basically chronologically, Celenza tackles some of the most powerful and contentious issues in twentieth and twenty-first century American politics. From censorship to copyright law; from the Civil Rights Movement, to foreign policy during Apartheid, Celenza traces the extraordinary moments when music moved Congress, challenged power, and united people around shared ideals. The stories Celenza tells are just as much about music including the intertwined histories of “The Star Spangled Banner” and “Lift Every Voice and Sing” or the making of Paul Simon's album Graceland, as they are about US legislation or American politics. She offers readers a history of America heard through the songs and compositions that changed its course. Learn more about your ad choices.

History often remembers elections by who won and who lost. But some elections matter because they reveal deeper changes taking place beneath the surface. The election of 1972 was one of those moments. Many of us consider it to be the landslide that changed America. Those of us who witnessed that time period remember that only four years earlier, America had experienced one of the most turbulent periods in its history. The assassinations of Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy, riots in cities across the nation, anti-war protests, and the bitter divisions of the Vietnam era left many Americans wondering what had happened to the country they thought they knew. By 1972, those wounds had not healed. In fact, in many cases, they seemed to have gotten worse. The war continued. Protests continued. The arguments over race, culture, and the future of America continued. Yet something important had changed. Many Americans were no longer simply reacting to the turmoil. They were choosing sides. And in November of 1972, they made their choice overwhelmingly clear. The Long Shadow of 1968 For myself, the years between 1968 and 1972 felt unsettled. In 1968 I had graduated from high school in Houston and in 1969 I had enlisted in the Coast Guard amid one of the most turbulent periods in modern American history. By 1972, many of the arguments that had erupted during the 1960s were still raging. Yet something had changed. Americans were no longer simply arguing about the future. Increasingly, they were choosing sides. The Vietnam War remained a constant presence in American life. Young men continued to receive draft notices. Families continued to watch casualty reports on the evening news. College campuses became centers of protest. Then came May 1970. At Kent State University, National Guard troops opened fire on student demonstrators. I was serving as a radio man at the Coast Guard Radio Station in San Francisco. Emotions ran high as people found out that: Four students were killed. The images shocked the nation. For some Americans, the protests represented necessary dissent. For others, they symbolized disorder and disrespect. The divide widened. The same events were producing entirely different reactions depending on who was watching. Nixon's Appeal Richard Nixon understood something many politicians had missed. Millions of Americans were exhausted. They were tired of violence. Tired of unrest. Tired of uncertainty. In speech after speech, Nixon spoke of what he called the "silent majority." These were Americans who were not marching in the streets, not appearing on television, and not leading protests. They were raising families. Working jobs. Paying mortgages. Watching the evening news and wondering whether anyone was still in control. Nixon promised stability. Order. Gradual change rather than revolution. Whether one agreed with him or not, his message resonated with millions of voters. George McGovern and a Different Vision The Democrats nominated Senator George McGovern. McGovern represented a very different vision of America. He opposed the Vietnam War. He appealed strongly to younger voters, activists, and many who believed the country needed more dramatic social change. His campaign energized parts of the Democratic Party. But it also exposed growing divisions within the coalition that had dominated American politics since Franklin Roosevelt. Many working-class voters who had once been reliable Democrats felt increasingly disconnected from the party's direction. The old alliance was beginning to crack. The Great Realignment Begins The election results were stunning. Nixon carried forty-nine states. McGovern won only Massachusetts and the District of Columbia. Even many states that had supported Democratic candidates for generations voted Republican. It was one of the largest electoral victories in American history. Yet the significance of 1972 was not simply the size of Nixon's victory. The election revealed new political fault lines that would shape the decades ahead. White Southern voters continued moving toward the Republican Party. Many suburban voters became increasingly Republican. Working-class ethnic voters who had once formed the backbone of Democratic strength began drifting away. The New Deal coalition that had dominated American politics for nearly forty years was weakening. A new political map was emerging. The Contradictions Yet even as Nixon celebrated victory, trouble was already brewing. Just months earlier, operatives connected to Nixon's reelection campaign had been caught breaking into Democratic headquarters at the Watergate complex. At the time, almost nobody imagined that a minor break-in would eventually bring down a president. After all, at the time, the incident seemed minor. Few Americans paid much attention. The landslide victory overshadowed everything. But history would soon reveal that one of the greatest electoral triumphs in American history carried within it the seeds of one of the greatest political scandals. For the moment, however, most Americans saw only the victory. The scandal was still hidden in the shadows. Closing Looking back, 1972 was more than a landslide election. It was a snapshot of a nation searching for stability after years of upheaval. The arguments that had erupted during the 1960s had not disappeared. But voters were beginning to sort themselves into new political coalitions. The old Democratic dominance was fading. A modern Republican coalition was taking shape. The political map Americans recognize today was beginning to emerge. And while Watergate would soon shake the nation once again, the deeper story of 1972 was not simply about Richard Nixon. It was about millions of Americans trying to decide what kind of country would emerge from the turmoil of the previous decade. In many ways, that debate continues to this day. "At the time, none of us knew how this story was going to end." Looking back, 1972 was more than a landslide election. I still have a Presidential Certificate of Appreciation from those years, signed by Richard Nixon during my service in the Coast Guard. At the time, it was simply a certificate from the Commander-in-Chief. Like most Americans, I had no way of knowing how dramatically the story of that presidency would unfold. History has a way of doing that. We live through events one day at a time, rarely seeing where they will lead. Only years later do we begin to understand how the pieces fit together. And in many ways, the America that emerged from 1972 is still the America we live in today.

There are many songs that could be described as political or that overtly address social issues. But more rarely has a song been so impactful as to directly influence American political and legal history. In the new book On the Record: Music that Changed America, Anna Celenza shares the stories of songs like Billie Holiday's “Strange Fruit” and Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring that have inspired legislative change. We also take calls from listeners about the political songs that have stuck with them. Photo by Wally McNamee/CORBIS/Corbis via Getty Images

In this episode, we examine the 1981 abduction and murder of 6-year-old Adam Walsh after he vanished from a Florida department store while his mother shopped nearby.

In the early hours of March 13, 1964, twenty-eight-year-old Kitty Genovese returned home from work and parked her car in a lot near her Queens apartment, completely unaware that someone was following her. As she approached the door to her apartment building, Kitty's stalker ran up behind her and stabbed her in the back twice before being scared off by a neighbor who yelled from his window. Wounded, Kitty managed to get to the back of the building, but her attacker soon returned and brutally assaulted her. By the time an ambulance arrived an hour later, it was too late; Kitty Genovese died before she reached the hospital.Kitty's murder and the arrest of her killer, Winston Moseley, were quickly overshadowed by what were believed to be the facts of the attack, primarily the widely held belief that at least thirty-eight neighbors had seen the assault or heard Kitty's cries for help and did nothing. Despite there having been no evidence to support that belief, the narrative quickly became about urban apathy, with the death of a Queens bartender merely a footnote. The murder of Kitty Genovese is one of the most notorious violent crimes in modern American history—not because of the details or circumstances of the crime, but because of the legend and mythology that has built up around it.ReferencesCook, Kevin. 2014.

Her courage didn't just make headlines — it helped ignite Browder v. Gayle, the landmark case that ended bus segregation.But history didn't center her story.In this episode of The Only One Mic Podcast, we pay tribute to Claudette Colvin — a teenager whose bravery predates the spotlight and challenges us to ask a deeper question: Why do some heroes get framed in history while others are pushed to the margins?This is more than a lesson.

Almost 55 years ago, Bella Abzug entered Congress, quickly emerging as a fierce champion of women's and minority rights and forging powerful alliances with fellow New York trailblazers like Shirley Chisholm and Elizabeth Holtzman. In part two of this Spectrum News NY1 series, Errol Louis examines Abzug's relentless work ethic and major legislative achievements, including the Child Care Act and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, as well as her early and outspoken support for gay rights. The episode also explores her toughest political battles—from her failed U.S. Senate run and mayoral campaign to her central role in the movement to impeach President Richard Nixon. Finally, the series traces Abzug's enduring influence on modern progressive politics and her global advocacy for women's rights.

National Security Institute Senior Fellow Lester Munson breaks down how President Trump changed America's foreign policy in 2025 and how Venezuela and China are set to be the main countries to watch at the start of 2026.

From Mississippi to Beijing to the halls of Congress, Bella Abzug battled injustice her entire life. Known for her trademark hats and fearless style, Abzug helped reshape New York politics and the national women's movement. In part one of this two-part podcast series from Spectrum News NY1, Errol Louis traces Abzug's early life from her path to Columbia Law School to her work as a civil rights attorney and anti-war activist. The episode explores her role in defending African American civil rights, her leadership in a leading women's peace group and the frustrations that ultimately pushed her to run for Congress in 1970 — when she was 50 years old and ready to upend the political establishment.

Craig Shirley talks about his book, "December 1941: 31 Days that Changed America and Saved the World".

In 1937, a 23-year-old Flint woman stood between General Motors security, Flint police gunfire, and the workers fighting for their lives inside Fisher Body. Her name was Genora Johnson Dollinger — and she did more than rally the Women's Emergency Brigade. She dodged bullets for the UAW and helped spark a labor uprising that reshaped the American middle class.This episode begins with a cinematic reenactment of the Flint Sit-Down Strike and Genora's electrifying moment on the picket line. From her kitchen-table organizing to the chaos outside the plants, Genora's bravery becomes the doorway into a deeper story about labor, power, and the long shadow cast over America's auto industry.We would like to hear from you!

QUIZ SHOW (1994) shouldn't work on paper: a quiet film about a 1950s game-show scandal, congressional hearings, and a rigged trivia show with no violence, no twist ending, and no flashy hook. And yet Robert Redford turns it into one of the most compelling American dramas of the decade: a deceptively sharp story about class, ambition, performance, and the birth of mass media.  Raycon audio products are up to 20% off this holiday season!

Episode 4970: A Conversation With Sam Tanenhaus And The Book Buckley: The Life and the Revolution That Changed America Pt. 2

Episode 4964: A Conversation With Sam Tanenhaus And The Book Buckley: The Life and the Revolution That Changed America

Few people exerted as profound an influence on the postwar conservative movement and the “fusionist” project of attempting to align libertarians with traditional conservatives on issues of shared interest as William F. Buckley Jr. The founder and longtime editor of National Review, Buckley hosted the weekly PBS program Firing Line, wrote a syndicated column, and authored roughly 50 books. He also found time to run for mayor of New York City in 1965. He had no real intention of winning but rather hoped to influence the terms of the debate over how the city was governed.Buckley commissioned Sam Tanenhaus to write his biography. The result is the comprehensive Buckley: The Life and the Revolution That Changed America. Please join us on Monday, November 17, a week before what would have been Buckley's 100th birthday, for an online discussion of the book and a man who helped shape public discussion for more than five decades. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode Bill sits down with Jonathan Karl, Chief Washington Correspondent for ABC News, to discuss Karl's latest book 'Retribution: Donald Trump, and the Campaign That Changed America.' The conversation covers Karl's unique relationship with Trump, including a personal call on the morning after the election, and a detailed discussion on Hunter Biden's significant yet tumultuous role in Joe Biden's political circle. They delve into Trump's comeback, the shocking revelations from January 6th, and the key moments leading up to Trump's re-election. The episode also examines Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' reflections on their political futures, an extraordinary account of Trump supporter Pamela Hemphill's journey, and current polling data revealing significant dissatisfaction with Trump's second term. Karl provides substantial insights through newly uncovered documents and personal anecdotes, making for a compelling discussion on current American political dynamics.You can order your copy of Jon's latest book here.

Keys To The Jet Podcast – Supersonic Flight: How It Changed America, Part Two – Cold War and the Supersonic DreamFrom the fiery skies of Vietnam to the edge of space, Part Two of our Supersonic Flight series dives headfirst into the Cold War — when speed, altitude, and paranoia ruled the world.Red breaks down the rise of the legendary F-4 Phantom II, the godlike SR-71 Blackbird, and the high-flying dreams of the B-58 Hustler and XB-70 Valkyrie — the kind of aircraft that made Soviet radar operators question their life choices.We'll talk about how the SR-71 outran missiles, how the F-4 leaked more fluids than a 1970s muscle car, and how the world flirted with the future through the Concorde and Tu-144 “Concordski.” Supersonic wasn't just technology — it was national pride, Cold War theater, and pure adrenaline on wings.So grab your ear protection and a cold one, because this episode is loaded with speed, sound, and straight-up chaos.

With America In Major New Administration & the Political News View Headlines Changing Everyday, This Book is Particularly Intriguing Now!!In 1974 John Egerton published his seminal work, The Americanization of Dixie. Pulitzer Prize-winner Cynthia Tucker and award-winning author Frye Gaillard carry Egerton's thesis forward in The Southernization of America, a compelling series of linked essays considering the role of the South in shaping America's current political and cultural landscape. They dive deeper, examining the morphing of the Southern strategy of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan into the Republican Party of today, the racial backlash against President Obama, family separation on our southern border, the rise of the Christian right, the white supremacist riots in Charlottesville, the death of George Floyd, and the attack on our nation's capitol. They find hope in the South too, a legacy rooted in the civil rights years that might ultimately lead the nation on the path to redemption. Tucker and Gaillard bring a multiracial perspective and years of political reporting to bear on a critical moment in American history, a time of racial reckoning and democracy under siege.Frye Gaillard is an award-winning journalist with over 30 published works on Southern history and culture, including Watermelon Wine; Cradle of Freedom: Alabama and the Movement that Changed America; The Books That Mattered: A Reader's Memoir; Journey to the Wilderness: War, Memory, and a Southern Family's Civil War Letters; Go South to Freedom; A Hard Rain: America in the 1960s, Our Decade of Hope, Possibility, and Innocence Lost; and The Slave Who Went to Congress. A Hard Rain was selected as one of NPR's Best Books of 2018. Writer-in-residence at the University of South Alabama, he is also John Egerton Scholar in Residence at the Southern Foodways Alliance at the University of Mississippi. He is the winner of the Clarence Cason Award for Nonfiction Writing, the Lillian Smith Book Award, and the Eugene Current-Garcia Award For Distinction in Literary Scholarship. In 2019, Gaillard was awarded the Alabama Governor's Arts Award for his contributions to literature.Cynthia Tucker is a Pulitzer Prize-winning syndicated columnist who has spent most of her career in journalism, having previously worked for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution as an editorial page editor and as a Washington-based political columnist. She has also been featured as a political commentator on television and radio. Tucker's work as a journalist has been celebrated by the National Association of Black Journalists (who inducted her into its hall of fame), Harvard University, and the Alabama Humanities Foundation. She spent three years as a visiting professor at the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism and is currently the journalist-in-residence at the University of South Alabama.© 2025 Building Abundant Success!!2025 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt and naturalist John Muir embarked on a legendary three-day camping trip through Yosemite. Away from politics and public life, they huddled under the stars, explored the towering sequoias, and shared a vision that would change the future of America's wild places. This unforgettable meeting is often credited with sparking the modern conservation movement—leading to the expansion of national parks and permanent protection for some of our most treasured landscapes. Join us as we retrace their journey, uncover the stories behind their conversations, and explore how a few nights in the wilderness helped shape the course of American environmental history.

The Trump administration keeps showing it's sooo tough on immigration that it deported three U.S. citizen children, arrested the wife of a member of the Coast Guard because her visa expired, and perp-walked an allegedly immigrant-concealing Wisconsin judge in handcuffs—instead of showing her the kind of deference Trump received over the course of his four indictments. Plus, the wildly wealthy jackasses behind Trump, the missing cargo ships at the ports, and Scott Pelley at 60 Minutes shows how it's done.
