It was released in 1904. The musical is a fictional American jockey name Johnny Jones who experiences trial and tribulations. His character is based on real like jockey Tod Sloan who rides a horse named Yankee Doodle in the English Derby. This song reflects the strong sense of patriarchy and country love that was expressed during 1900 to 1910. Many things were being invented during this decade like the first manned flight with the motorized airplane and the first affordable automobile. This time period was after the emancipation of slavery so during this time race relations were getting a little better in terms of being united. More white abolitionists were coming out. The NAACP was formed partly in response to the continuing practice of lynching and the 1908 race riot in Springfield, Illinois. Appalled at the violence that was committed against blacks, a group of white liberals that included Mary White Ovington and Oswald Garrison Villard, issued a call for a meeting to discuss racial justice.

This movement was centered in Harlem but it had an impact nationally. The overall purpose fo the movement was to create a pristine image of education and affluence for African Americans. It was during this time that African Americans defied a segregated music industry, as African American composers collaborated with white composers and artists. ]]> 2018-01-22 01:06:47 UTC https://padlet.com/atomlinson18/v4bx8o9jm099/wish/223173013 atomlinson18 https://padlet.com/atomlinson18/v4bx8o9jm099/wish/223176842 This song was composed by Hall Johnson, a black composer from Georgia who went to study music in New York.

"The Blues" were very influential were it emerged from the southern states in Black songs, chants, and spirituals. The Blues arose out of the struggling and injustice that Africans Americans experienced in the South. Therefore, often times the songs were created in setting where work was being done.  Laws in the South that sentenced prisoners to hard labor were used to create free labor for the state, and this was another place for the use of old work songs and the creation of new ones sung in a style that gave rise to the blues. ]]> 2018-01-24 17:20:11 UTC https://padlet.com/atomlinson18/v4bx8o9jm099/wish/224329787 atomlinson18 https://padlet.com/atomlinson18/v4bx8o9jm099/wish/224482613 Mahalia Jackson was a widely popular gospel singer. Her music crossed over into white audience in the 1940s. The blues had a big impact on the rise of gospel music, which is one of the biggest influences on American culture in general. Gospel at the time has its roots in the spirituals of the African American south. This song just talks about being in the company of Jesus, trusting in Jesus and asking him for forgiveness. Like the blues, gospel helped many African Americans deal with the injustice of slavery and the unjust things that followed. ]]> 2018-01-25 00:37:42 UTC https://padlet.com/atomlinson18/v4bx8o9jm099/wish/224482613 atomlinson18 https://padlet.com/atomlinson18/v4bx8o9jm099/wish/224485907 This song was a product of Motown Records which was founded in 1959 and was the first record label that focused on African Americans artists.

From slavery to present law enforcers in America have treated black people with the most disrespect. From slave catchers to the KKK, to police officers today, black people have been terrified by people who are supposed to defend the law.
