ABOUT SITE

This site is dedicated to a college student's final project for a course about American music. The playlist compiled is accessible via Spotify and YouTube. Each time a selection is added, a blog will be posted to describe (1) its relation to the weekly prompt and (2) the playlist as a whole.

Gold, God, & Glory

Why this title?

In true American fashion, this playlist explores contemporary music as it relates to this historic phrase. The concept of Manifest Destiny was utilized as a justification for white supremacy and colonization. As individuals with a heart for diversity and the betterment of society, modern Americans understand the negative connotation behind these morals. Rather than promote a melting pot of cultures where Americans become one, we learn to respect and honor each others' differences. In doing so, our society is more enriched and we are better able to connect with those that hold beliefs that differ from our own.

 

Gold, God, and Glory teaches the various stories of Americans and leaves room for further exploration. Listeners are invited to tune into this compilation of songs and reflect on each song's unique connection to Gold, God, and Glory. Through education, accountability, and vision, the goal is to redefine what it means to be an American and build a better tomorrow.
