A Journey in Sound: Tracing Black Influence on American Music

Delve into the profound impact of African influences on American music with “A Journey in Sound: Tracing Black Influence on American Music.” This exhibit highlights the significant role that African folk traditions have played in shaping American music.

The exhibit showcases the evolution of distinctive styles such as blues, jazz, gospel, and more, emphasizing their global appeal and continued influence on the music world.
