In episode three we honour the music of social protest movements and the songs of trade unions. From the Industrial Revolution and the American Civil War through to the Civil Rights Movement and contemporary anti-racist protest groups, music has been a tool for storytellers and activists to make themselves heard and inspire others. From NWA to Billy Bragg, songs of protest and social upheaval have changed the world.
