Why is it that black folk will be the main supporters of a music that is creted by Black musicians and then we will be the first to abandon it leaving it to be loved and respected by the people of the white persuasion, examples?

Rock-and-Roll, Jazz!! Do we forget that our people started these musical expressions or are we just never taught it? Whatever the cause is of these false feelings, the effect is the loss of a deeper understanding of ourselves and the plight of the Black man.

Music teaches us so much more than any of us are willing to recognize. The smoothness of Mahalia's voice can take you all the way to Africa then to America and then to another place within yourself that you never knew existed. Feel the Black man!! The Black man is JAZZ and I am his daughter--Jazzonia. Nice to meet you all!! I depart this contribution leaving you with mad love, mad peace, and mad blessings!!
