What do we need for a just world? Are the answers in the songs and poetry created throughout time? Liberated Muse presents The Soundtrack for Social Justice, a poetic and musical reflection on the ways we can manifest a world of fairness and equity where human rights are recognized and upheld. This dynamic show showcases the impact of creatives who used their platform for social justice, with special tribute to the iconic Nikki Giovanni, who passed away on December 9, 2024. Liberated Muse is a multidisciplinary arts group that was founded in 2008 by Dr. Khadijah Z. Ali-Coleman, the second poet laureate of Prince George’s County, Maryland, and author of the books For the Girls Who Too Much and The Summoning of Black Joy. 

Khadijah Z. Ali-Coleman wrote the script for this stage performance and the poems presented throughout the show (with the exception of the poem by Nikki Giovanni, presented in her honor). This performance was recorded on the Millennium Stage at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC.
