On this episode of Memphis Musicology, we sit down with the Stax Museum’s Jane White to discuss the new exhibit “Give a Damn!” on display now at Crosstown Arts. The exhibit focuses on Stax’s late-era legacy of political activism, both through the label’s music and direct action, and shines a particular light on co-owner Al Bell who spearheaded the change. Following the interview, we survey some of the best songs from this particular era from artists like the Bar-Kays, Johnnie Taylor, and John Gary Williams.
