It is our responsibility to keep these stories alive, even if the discomfort reminds you that much of what you love was created under oppressive systems that forced communities to turn nothing into something. This isn’t an accountability post. It’s a history lesson and a reminder of how we, the Black diaspora, have been instrumental in the music industry in various ways. We should all take part in sharing the history and keeping it alive. As music lovers, as producers, and as DJs. If you found this video interesting and you’re interested in a book recommendation, “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life: The History of the Disc Jockey” by Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton is a wonderful read. Thank you for listening. #music #musichistory #blackhistory #dj #house #housemusic #queerhistory
