Through Childish Gambino’s 2018 release, This is America, I will illuminate how popular music artists are using audio-visual media in order to protest police violence and discrimination towards African Americans in the United States. I hope to enlighten audience members to the idea that popular artists are not just entertainers, but leaders in the movements towards change and growth in society.
