Motown Soul

Motown shaped the culture and did all the things that made the 1960s what they were. So if you don’t understand Motown and the influence it had on a generation of black and white young people, then you can’t understand the United States, you can’t understand America.

—Julian Bond, N.A.A.C.P. chairman of the board.
