Love this post! What a great way to connect history together. I particularly love the Rhiannon Giddens banjo track, since she's hyped the Black roots of banjo for a while. https://variety.com/2023/music/news/rhiannon-giddens-banjo-wondrium-series-interview-1235586955/ And that painting is so beautiful.

this is so great! it made me think of the old pushback against oxford’s aave dictionary. some things are ephemeral for a reason and just because they’re not written doesn’t mean they’re lost

Thanks so much! and yes, sometimes there's an overreliance on written documentation without recognizing the benefits of other types.
