Yes, music profoundly influences social movements by inspiring unity, boosting morale, and raising awareness. Historical examples include "We Shall Overcome" in the U.S. Civil Rights Movement, which fostered solidarity and courage during protests, and Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit," which highlighted racial injustices and helped spark broader anti-lynching efforts. Protest songs like Bob Dylan's works mobilized anti-war sentiments in the 1960s. Music builds collective identity, evokes emotions, and amplifies marginalized voices, driving social change across eras.https://www.facinghistory.org/ideas-week/how-can-music-inspire-social-change
