This is the untold story of black music - its triumph over racism,
segregation, undercapitalised record labels, media discrimination
and political anxiety - told through the perspective of the most
powerful office in the world: from Louis Armstrong's spat with
President Eisenhower and Eartha Kitt's stormy encounter with Lady
Bird Johnson to James Brown's flirtation with Nixon, Reaganomics
and the 'Cop Killer' scandal. Moving, insightful and wide-ranging,
Hey America! charts the evolution of sixties soul from the margins
of American society to the mainstream, culminating in the rise of
urban hip-hop and the dramatic stand-off between Donald Trump and
the Black Lives Matter movement.
