Nina Simone would have been 90 this week.
Her music moves me. Shakes me. Sees me.
I’d love to hear your favorite Nina songs.

In the mid-1960s Vernon Jordan, the head of the Urban League asked Nina why she wasn’t ‘more active in civil rights’.

We love that Vernon Jordan story!

"Young, gifted, and Black, we must begin to tell our young; there's a world waiting for you; this is a quest that's just begun."

We included a few of our Nina essentials here in our curated playlist. #NinaSimone #blackmusicproject

This is GOLD! Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m hopping on your list for sure. She never minced a word :) Thank goodness for you and others for preserving the music and the stories in a world that is trying to erase these beacons. 🙏🏽❤️
