YOUR RELATIONSHIP GOT SKILLS… BUT IS IT ANOINTED?
from Zo Williams: Voice of Reason · host KBLA 1580 Am
YOUR RELATIONSHIP GOT SKILLS… BUT IS IT ANOINTED? Black Music Born Under Duress — Is Black Love Born Under Duress Too? Black music never eased into clean studios with suits nodding approval. It came screaming under duress—chains on wrists, whips across backs in cotton fields, night riders circling with ropes and torches, Jim Crow signs staring while you tried to hum toward freedom. Spirituals rose coded in the rows with the lash still fresh. Blues moaned from prison camps and shotgun shacks where rent was paid in blood and silence.
