One of the most revealing lenses through which to view the country&rsquo;s history may be music. Anna Harwell Celenza, professor at Johns Hopkins University and author of <a href="https://books.apple.com/us/book/on-the-record/id6749278151" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">On the Record: Music That Changed America</a>, joined Apple News In Conversation guest host David Greene to discuss the hidden political history of American music &mdash; from why &ldquo;The Star-Spangled Banner&rdquo; became the national anthem to how &ldquo;Strange Fruit&rdquo; helped pass anti-lynching legislation &mdash; and what music still has to say about democracy now.
