Consider adding an African American Studies course to your summer plan of study: AfroAmer156 is the story of how Black music became one of the world’s dominant cultural forces, and how it shaped the musical, social and political landscape of the United States from the end of World War II until the present. It considers how Black music articulates survival, redemption, and reinvention, how those themes reflect the African-American experience in postwar 20th and 21st-century America, and how those themes can be heard in the music we hear today. Musical styles covered in the course include the blues, gospel, rock and roll, rhythm and blues, soul, funk, disco, and hip-hop.

Country music is not just for white people. It's time to acknowledge the contributions of black artists to this genre, from the past to the present. #Beyoncé's recent album launch at the #SuperBowl has brought a lot of attention to this issue. Despite the lack of representation at country music awards, black artists have been using music to express themselves for centuries and this genre is no exception. Even Elvis Presley's music style was inspired by the black community, so was Rock n Roll, Jazz and House Music. This raises important questions about cultural appropriation, as discussed in my lecture at the British School of Fashion. The fashion and music industries often take inspiration from black culture without giving credit or equity. It's time to change that. We need to encourage more black artists to take on country music and other genres they have been excluded from, like Beyoncé and Lil Nas X. Let's celebrate the diversity of music and the voices that make it great. Check out this article by Essence Communications Inc. on the contributions of black people to popular music throughout history. #cultureappropriation
