Music has always been a medium for protest and the incitement of change. Musicians have earned greater freedom to express themselves as the years have passed, and today almost anything goes!
Prior to Donald Trump's election in 2016, a large section of the music community organized a protest called "30 days, 30 songs." Every day of the month before the election, one artist would release an anti-Trump song they had written. But generations before them used their voices for the same purpose, albeit in a less organized fashion! Click through the following gallery to see which daring artists released protest anthems about US presidents.
