Politics and bias can hinder good music. Unfortunately, this is not a new phenomenon, but it is heightened by our times. #Beyonce #countrymusic #CMA #texasholdem

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!

Beyoncé's new track has generated some discussion about whether Blacks have a right to participate in the country music space. Our latest exhibit explores the genre's history & the crucial influence Blacks have had on country. #Beyonce #countrymusic #texasholdem
