As part of the Central MN Remembers Vietnam 50th Anniversary, join the HomeFront Resource Center for “Music of the War.” Each war has anthems as music is a shared vehicle of communicating emotion, experience, ideas and commentary. We will examine the music of the Vietnam war era and discuss how that music represented Americans viewpoints on the war and major cultural events surrounding that time. With facilitator Jerry Duckworth.

This program is made possible thanks to a grant from the Minnesota Humanities Center.
