Kicking it off with a movie about the origins of African American music...how the fundamentals are not different than our roots from the motherland. "I'll Take You there playing over a montage" of popular artists through time. Tearing up already! 😭

This place is absolutely amazing everyone! I found myself choked up walking through. So much history here beautifully presented...African American culture absolutely has been documented in our music the way it flows, the way this museum flowed...breathtaking. Visit when you can!
