The past 2 weeks have taken TBMP founder @christopherfuller from Ethiopia, to Egypt, & now the heart of "Black Wall St" in Tulsa, OK. This shot is at the corner of Greenwood Ave & Archer. Tulsa's GAP Band took their name from this historic Black district (Pine St being the P). #blackwallst #tulsa

Egypt has been an inspiration for all genres of music -- but especially in Black genres like #jazz #hiphop #rap etc. Can you think of any songs/videos inspired by Egypt? Post them here. We'll start: Michael Jackson's #newjackswing hit "Remember The Time." #michaeljackson #egypt #queenhatshepsut

Usually, when we post about the Nile we're talking about Mr. Rodgers. But today TBMP is in Cairo! (Nile Rriver in background). Know any good Egyptian themed tunes by Blacks? Shout them out here. We'll start: Louis Armstrong's "Go Down Moses." #jazz #egypt #louisarmstrong #nilerodgersandchic

HHB to #jazz #saxophonist Eddie Harris (10.20.1934 Chicago). TBMP is proud to have Eddie's daughter, Yvonne Harris Burnley (entertainment lawyer and adjunct entertainment law professor at Howard University), on its advisory board. #EddieHarris
A BMP infographic featuring an illustration of jazz saxman Eddie Harris. The accompanying text: HHB to jazz saxophonist Eddie Harris (10.20.1934 Chicago). Eddie's father was from Cuba, and his mother was from Mississippi. This unique cultural background distinguished his sound from his contemporaries, making him a jazz innovator. TBMP is proud to have Eddie's daughter, Yvonne Harris Burnley (entertainment lawyer and adjunct entertainment law professor at Howard University), on its advisory board.

The 16th St. Baptist Church bombing (9.15.1963) in Birmingham, AL, occurred just a few months after the assassination of Medgar Evers. We must never forget Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson, and Carol Denise McNair. #16thSt #NeverForget #4LittleGirls #medgarevers
A BMP infographic showing the four little girls killed in the 16th St. Baptist Church bombing. The accompanying text: Just a few months after the assassination of Medgar Evers in Mississippi that same year, the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama, on September 15, 1963, was the most horrific moment in a continuous cycle of white terrorism against Black Americans during the 1960s Civil Rights Movement. We must never forget the lengths white supremacy and hatred (just two sides of the same coin) will go to in trying to silence and terrorize Black voices. Remember their names: Addie Mae Collins (14), Cynthia Wesley (14), Carole Robertson (14), and Carol Denise McNair (11).

Last night in the hotel room we caught ESPN's new doc: The Crossover, which explores the 50 year synergy between #hiphop and sports. It was well done and features expert commentary from author @danamo Danyel Smith! Highly recommend! #rap #sports #documentary

Work songs have a long tradition in America, & many are closely associated with the Black Music Project's notion of #wokesongs because they're more than just about relieving oneself from work's arduousness; they're about examining social structures —& unfairness of the system. #LaborDay #WorkSongs

The accompanying text: We're focusing on songs dedicated to hardworking men and women from African-American performers this Labor Day. Work songs have a long tradition in America, and many are closely associated with the Black Music Project's notion of the "woke song" because they were more than just about relieving oneself from the arduousness of work; they were about examining social structures — and the inherent unfairness of the system.

Book recommendation: Black Diamond Queens by Maureen Mahon. We intended this book for holiday beach reading, but the weather here in LA had other plans. Still, it is a fantastic read about Black women's indelible influence on #rocknroll music. #book #BMPBookRec #BMPrec #BlackWomensHistory

The term "Motown hit machine" was used by admirers & detractors in the 60s due to its prolific hit-making ability. However, simply calling it a "hit machine" neglects the genuine artistry of each expertly crafted tune. #motown #BerryGordy #1960s #music #songwriting #Detroit #FordMotors

The accompanying text: The term "Motown hit machine" was used by admirers and detractors in the 60s due to its prolific hit-making ability. Yes, founder Berry Gordy did incorporate the automotive efficiency he learned as a former worker at Ford Motors. However, simply calling it a "hit machine" neglects the genuine artistry of each expertly crafted tune.

The news that Yusef Salaam will likely win a NYC City Council primary is inspiring. His story reminds us of others convicted of crimes unjustly due to racism. The 1931 #ScottsboroBoys case inspired #folk & #blues musician #LeadBelly to warn Blacks to #staywoke #wokesongs #BMPthread #YusefSalaam
A BMP infographic ft. folk and blues icon Lead Belly on the left and Exonerated Five member Yusef Salaam on the right. The accompanying text: The news that Yusef Salaam will likely win a NYC City Council primary (Harlem) is inspiring. His journey from wrongfully accused to civic leader reminds us of others charged with crimes unjustly due to racism. The 1931 Scottsboro Boys case that convicted nine Black teens of raping two White women on flimsy evidence inspired folk and blues musician Huddie Ledbetter to end his 1938 protest song “Scottsboro Boys,” with this warning to Blacks traveling in the South: “So I advise everybody, be a little careful when they go along through there — best stay woke, keep their eyes open.”
