Ten years after launching Iowa State's First Amendment Day Celebration, Freedom Sings returns to campus. The multimedia presentation is part concert and part conversation and features music that has been banned, censored or sounded a call for social change. A program of the First Amendment Center, Freedom Sings features live music, video and narration, and showcases hit songwriters, performers and Grammy Award winners. It looks at some of the most controversial songs in American history, recognizing the full spectrum of political views. Ken Paulson, former editor of USA TODAY and president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors will host. Participating musicians include Bill Lloyd, guitar; Jason White, guitar; Ashley Cleveland, vocals; and the Steve Miller Band's Joseph Wooten, keyboard.
