black music is our history book
Will the program you are hosting pay homage to how slave songs (Christian Hymns) organized the underground railroad and later after freedom, blues reported the violent abuse and suffering of a people who never gave up? I'm directing a musical review show at the Fitzgerald in Las Vegas with a similar intent. Our people are missing from history textbook but we still pass on our stories through music. Now that schools have taken music out of poor schools we have to continue to pass it on through churches and creating our own cultural centers and youth organizations that pass on music.
