When Kev Marcus and Wil B met in a high school music class they shared their desire to disrupt people's impressions of what classical music should be. Together they formed a group called Black Violin, which we featured on the NewsHour early on in their success. Now they're back with a Brief But Spectacular take on defying stereotypes, as part of our coverage of arts and culture, "CANVAS."

In recognition of Black History Month, this Brief But Spectacular comes from historian Daina Ramey Berry, who chairs the history department at the University of Texas at Austin. She is dedicated to rethinking the way we teach American history to all students, and her latest book is called, "A Black Women's History of the United States."

Shortly before the pandemic, NewsHour traveled to Georgia and spoke with two high school seniors, Audrey McNeal and Shaylon Walker. Now in their first year of college, here's their Brief But Spectacular takes on race and being underestimated.

Matt Nathanson, a musician known for his blend of folk and rock, is perhaps best known for his 2008 single, "Come On Get Higher." He shares his Brief But Spectacular take on getting older, gaining confidence and finding his voice.
