Consider adding an African American Studies course to your summer plan of study: AfroAmer156 is the story of how Black music became one of the world’s dominant cultural forces, and how it shaped the musical, social and political landscape of the United States from the end of World War II until the present. It considers how Black music articulates survival, redemption, and reinvention, how those themes reflect the African-American experience in postwar 20th and 21st-century America, and how those themes can be heard in the music we hear today. Musical styles covered in the course include the blues, gospel, rock and roll, rhythm and blues, soul, funk, disco, and hip-hop.

Simple yet a very powerful message.

We have so much global conflict today under crushing debt load and few economic resources to meet a growing population. Resolution comes with a massive dose of truth. The UK is mother to us all. She must act now. We need to release primary sources to verify and confirm our true black history. American red Indians came from Mongolia 🇲🇳 in the 1800s and were never indigenous to America. The real American Indians were black when a black Columbus showed up from black Europe in 1492. Blacks lived in America over 2000 years. Blacks lived in Europe for over 2000 years. The Black Hebrews occupied Europe and Scotland. Ben Franklin's Essay of 1751 on the increase of mankind par.24 is the clearest statement on race with an extremely small white population tied to the Caucasus but housed in England at the time of Ben's essay when global population was 600 m. Today of 8.2 billion souls UN /CIA report 5 % considered pure white. How can history be accurate? In North Africa I was called Berber blue man but content with genetically proven black bin Yahya Hebrew label. Blacks managed planet as leaders for 5800 years going back to a black Adam in BCE4000. Hard truth is that 300 years ago small group of whites were still in the Caucasus.

🔴🟡🟢Happy Black History Month🔴🟡🟢 Rock and Roll (1950-1960s) Rock and roll emerged in the early 1950s as a dynamic and rebellious fusion of rhythm and blues, country, and gospel music. It was characterized by its driving rhythms, electrifying guitar solos, and raw vocal performances. Rooted in African-American musical traditions, rock and roll found its early pioneers in artists like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Fats Domino, who brought a new energy and attitude to popular music. Their hits, including "Johnny B. Goode," "Tutti Frutti," and "Blueberry Hill," captured the imagination of young audiences and helped define the sound of the genre. In the mid-1950s, rock and roll exploded into mainstream consciousness with the rise of Elvis Presley, whose charismatic performances and provocative style made him a cultural icon. The success of Presley and other rock and roll stars like Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Bill Haley & His Comets propelled the genre to new heights of popularity. The 1960s saw the emergence of British rock bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Who, who brought a new level of sophistication and experimentation to rock music. This era, often referred to as the "British Invasion," cemented rock and roll's status as a global phenomenon. Since then, rock and roll has continued to evolve and diversify, spawning countless subgenres and influencing generations of musicians across the world. Today, rock music remains a powerful and enduring force in popular culture, with artists like Foo Fighters, Green Day, and The Black Keys carrying on its legacy. #blackhistorymonth #musicaljourney

NEW EPISODE! In our fascination with #STEM education, are we losing something vital by squeezing out the arts. It is precisely in its rich and diverse #aliveness perhaps that music, and other arts, hold so much possibility. Check out this week's conversation with the incredible Eric Dozier! With a couple of stunning songs performed by Eric too! Eric and Tim talk about: 🎵 How does music connect us with ourselves? 🎶 How does music connect us with each other, and build community? 🎵 How does music offer other ways of knowing and transferring cultural knowledge? 🎶 How do black and indigenous cultural ways of knowing get marginalised by white supremacy culture? 🎵 What does it mean for a teacher (like a choirleader) to hold space for transformation?
