Palestine Amplified Part 1: Connecting Our Struggles

Palestine Amplified is a four-part series exploring the Palestinian struggle through music. In this episode, we’re looking at how different struggles are related, from apartheid South Africa to police brutality in the U.S., and how making these connections can help us better understand the Palestinian cause. In particular, we explore the way music was used in the movement against apartheid in South Africa and the ways co-strugglers around the world learn from each other's resistance. Voices featured in this episode: Huda Asfour Alsarah Sonny Singh Wendy Elisheva Somerson Ijeoma Oluo Tory J Kevin Sur Samir Eskanda Selma Al-Aswad Explore music from the episode on KEXP's Spotify page.
