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!

To all those who’ve never reported an account before, this a good opportunity to practice. Search for ‘onlineclaimagent’ and proceed…
Terminator LX @TerminatorLXBeware of this account. This person is claiming to be an online claim agent for USAID. USAID primarily gives aid to people outside of the United States--it's a US international humanitarian and goodwill agency. Plus the grammar and punctuation are a mess. This might be a phishing attempt. #scam12:09 PM - Mar 31, 2024

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

We watched every weekend in my house. My older sisters were teenagers and would critique the dancers and outfits, while also trying to teach me the steps. I also remember the astonishment when Elton John came on ("there's a white guy on Soul Train!").
