Trivia: Which Motown song became a civil rights anthem in the 1960s?
Ain’t No Mountain High Enough
Dancing in the Street
Baby I Need Your Loving
Higher Ground
The correct answer is Dancing in the Street
So why is this answer correct? : “Dancing in the Street” was released by Martha and the Vandellas in 1964 in the midst of the civil rights movement, when campaigners were attempting to get as many Black voters as possible registered in Mississippi. The upbeat song was seen as a rallying cry for young African Americans to take to the streets and protest for their civil rights.
