“Abolition Playlist (Music)” – Project NIA

Abstract: A curated list of songs spanning genres and decades that reflect abolitionist themes (from Nina Simone’s “I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free” to Noname’s “Rainforest”). The accompanying PDF booklet explains the significance of each track in movement history or messaging. This allows groups to engage with abolition through a cultural lens, possibly prompting them to create their own local playlist and discuss music’s role in struggle. — Website
