This week we’ll conclude our two part feature celebrating Black History Month. Last week we heard some classic music from the early days of sound recording plus a set of tunes from the Civil Rights Movement. This week our program takes a sharp turn as we listen to more music from The Civil Rights Movement, some Classic Soul, Black Banjo Players and some Blues.
