Trailing down the dusty highway at dusk, soundtracked by Western-flavoured downtempo sounds. Lapsteels, anachronistic electronics, and deconstructed country ballads.

AfricaNow! June 11, 2025 Black Washington, Jazz & Resistance

Topic and Guest: June is Black Music Month or African American Music Month.  Thus today AfricaNow! presents a conversation with Dr. Maurice Jackson about the history and power of music in Washington, DC and its utility in resistance.  The conversation between historian Dr. Jackson and Dr. Josh Myers of AfricaNow! and Africa World Now Project collective centers on the book Rhythms of Resistance and Resilience: How Black Washingtonians Used Music and Sports in the Fight For Equality by Dr. Maurice Jackson.  This discussion was also featured in CapitolBop.  The discussion interweaves the musical and socio-political history of Washington with names such as Marian Anderson, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and the Turkish Ertegun brothers, as well as the role that teachers such as John Malachi and Calvin Jones played in training the talent that continues to shape D.C.’s music.

Rhythms of Resistance and Resilience publisher’s description notes that “In the Nation's Capital, music and sports have played a central role in the lives of African Americans, often serving as a barometer of social conflict and social progress—for sports clubs and ball games, jam sessions and concerts, offered entertainment, enlightenment, and encouragement. At times, they have also offered a means of escape from the harsh realities of everyday life. (https://press.georgetown.edu/Book/Rhythms-of-Resistance-and-Resilience)  

Dr. Maurice Jackson teaches Atlantic World and African American History at Georgetown University. Professor Jackson is author of Let This Voice Be Heard, and coeditor of African Americans and the Haitian Revolution and DC Jazz (Georgetown University Press, 2018). He was the inaugural chair of the Washington, DC, Commission on African American Affairs, appointed by the mayor.
