This new HBO doc on the Stax/Volt record label in Memphis has been many years in the making. It looks like it was worth the wait. Stax was more than just great music, it was a rare example of blacks and whites working together in the Deep South during segregation. It premieres May 20. #Stax

If any of you find our content online uncredited please let us know. It's flattering that The Black Music Project's content is starting to show up in articles and videos that tell the story of the unsung Black contributors to American music, but it's ironic that TBMP goes unsung when this happens.

News!: Big Mama Thornton will be inducted as part of the Musical Influence category by the Rock Hall. We'd like to think that all the recent spotlight on her talents (inclu. our work) had a little something to do with that. Thanks to everyone who signed the petition!

Hazel Scott is a jazz name unfamiliar to most casual fans of the genre. But she was an innovator, creative genius, and a fierce fighter for civil rights. #HazelScott #jazz #jazzpiano

Beyoncé's #CowboyCarter has a track called "The Linda Martell Show." Linda was a talented country artist & the first Black woman to play the Opry in '69. Unfortunately, her career was cut short due to racism and sexism. Listen to our curated selection of Linda's song here. #Beyonce #LindaMartell

If you look closely at the graphic on our new exhibit, "Beyoncé and Country Music," you'll notice the whitewashed history of country music she's painting over features an album cover from a certain former resident of Hazzard County. Yee-haw!
