The Effects of Censorship in America Freedom of expression and the struggle it has brought along is as ancient as the history of censorship. The power of voice that it brought to the individual was held in high regards to the moral and political life of the population in the past.

Sergei Rachmaninoff once said, “Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music.” Most people underestimate the value and power of music. People grieve at some point in their life, but music is an emotion and that emotion feels their grief. Musicians have an advantage by connecting to the audience through their music.
