Most definitely! I was blessed enough to attend a predominantly black independent school district here in Oklahoma City that taught Black History as core curriculum. Same in Tulsa. Considering most don’t know that OK has the most all-Black towns of any state, we have to keep that history alive.

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

We celebrate the life and career of Minnie Riperton BTD. 11.08.1947 Chicago), a talented artist who left us much too soon. "Loving You" is a justified classic, but she had many other beautiful songs such as this one, "Les Fleurs" (1969). #MinnieRiperton #soulmusic #popsoul #lovesongs
