Joad Family Album, 1938 (Horace Bristol)
In the winter of 1937-38, photographer Horace Bristol and writer John Steinbeck teamed up for a Life magazine assignment and for nearly two months traveled California interviewing migrant workers of the Great Central Valley. Before finishing the project, however, Steinbeck withdrew—deciding to utilize the research for his novel The Grapes of Wrath instead of an article for Life.

Jazz in the 1930s.
Rock ‘n’ roll in the 1950s.
Disco in the 1970s.

So literally, American music at its birth was Whites poorly imitating Black people.
& then people wanna be like
“BUT HIP HOP AINT JUST ABOUT BLAAACK PEOPLE, ITS FOR EVERYONE!! HAHAHA”
Not so gentle reminder that without Black folks
the US would have no musical legacy to speak of.
