Mark your calendars and unleash your spirits! Join us in the heart of Harlem on June 15th, 2024, for the Juneteenth Freedom Fest - where history meets celebration, and unity dances with liberation. Let’s honor the past, revel in the present, and go “Black to the future” 🎉 .

Country music, rooted in Black origins with the banjo’s West African roots, evolved through minstrel shows that, despite their racist nature, unintentionally introduced the banjo to white audiences. The appropriation of the banjo laid the foundation for hillbilly music in the 1920s, where Black and white artists collaborated. After World War I, country music was commercialized and rebranded, erasing Black artists from mainstream recognition. This shift marked the transformation of country music from an integrated phenomenon to a marketed “white music,” perpetuating a narrative that excluded the significant contributions of Black artists.

But today, we are reminded of the contributions and impact of Black people on this musical genre thanks to newest singles. So let’s celebrate the Black pillars in Country music like Deford Bailey, a harmonica virtuoso, who broke barriers as the first African American artist on the Grand Ole Opry in the 1920s, paving the way for future Black country musicians.

Linda Martell, who in the late 1960s, became the first Black woman to perform solo on the Grand Ole Opry, challenging racial norms and contributing to country’s diversity.

Charley Pride, a trailblazing artist in the 1960s and ‘70s, who achieved remarkable success as a Black country singer, proving that talent transcends racial boundaries.

Mickey Guyton, a contemporary artist, who has made waves with her powerful voice and advocacy, addressing social issues and becoming a prominent figure in modern country music.

Ray Charles who infused country with soul, blending genres seamlessly and creating timeless hits that bridged musical divides.

And of course Tina Turner, who with her soulful voice, added a unique flavor to country-rock collaborations, showcasing the genre’s adaptability.

Collectively, these artists have left an indelible mark on country music, challenging stereotypes, breaking barriers, and enriching the genre with their diverse influences.

Do you know who Claudette Colvin is?

Claudette Colvin played a crucial role in the Civil Rights Movement by refusing to give up her bus seat to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955 – nine months before Rosa Parks’ more widely known act. Her defiance challenged segregation laws, inspiring others and contributing to the legal battle against racial segregation on public transportation. Colvin’s courageous actions helped set the stage for the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a pivotal moment in the fight for civil rights. Despite facing personal challenges, her impact resonates as a symbol of resistance and determination.

Join us in honoring the remarkable legacies of trailblazers like Frederick McKinley, an advocate for education; Ann Lowe, the pioneering fashion designer; Muhammad Ali, the legendary boxer and activist; Henrietta Lacks, whose cells revolutionized medical research; Claudette Colvin, a leader in the fight against segregation; Jesse Owens, an Olympic icon challenging racial barriers; and Jane Bolin, the first Black female judge in the United States. Their resilience, achievements, and contributions have left an indelible mark on history. Let’s continue to celebrate and elevate these incredible individuals!

Joyous Kwanzaa!

Kwanzaa is an annual celebration of African-American culture from December 26 to January 1, culminating in a communal feast called Karamu, usually on the sixth day. It was created by activist Maulana Karenga, based on African harvest festival traditions from various parts of West and Southeast Africa.

Today, we celebrate the principle Umoja or Unity!
