I loved the beginning video which showed the roots of African American music and how it was influenced and grew throughout time

I visited with my 80 something-year-old mother and 25-year -old daughter and we all had a great time! We created our own hip-hop beats (well, my daughter and I did). And my mom got to listen to a song she remembered as her mother’s favorite when she was a little girl! I have to return just so my husband and sons can experience it. Everyone there seemed to be having a great time! It was a wonderful experience!

The first thing is that there is a short film that gives a short, but good history of black/African/American history. Following that are several rooms of photos, short stories, some projected, of history and earliest to current black musicians. One fun experience was getting to be part of a local choir singing Oh Happy Day! Your faces become part of the choir! Very interesting is a circular exhibit where dozens of black singers are shown. You press on anyone and hear them sing, but also learn who their influencers, followers, and peers were/are. Basically, you learn the progression of African/American music. Another interesting and fun interactive display is one in which you get to pick a rural or urban setting, the subject of the song….they give 3 to choose from….and then how such a song progresses. Besides being educational, this museum is fun! Not only singers are included, but those musicians, like well known Louis Armstrong and lesser known ones. We didn’t get through the entire museum in the 90 minutes we were there. I needed more time for the jazz, R&B and rap sections. Give yourself 2 hours for the best experience. I highly recommend this museum for any lovers of music.
