🎙️ REPLAY: The Blues Narrative — The Next Chapter of the Slave Narratives

Originally aired: Late March Broadcast | 9 PM CST
Presented by: Jack Dappa Blues Heritage Preservation Foundation
In partnership with The African American Folklorist and We The Blues People

We are proud to share the full replay of our special broadcast that launched a new chapter in our cultural memory work — The Blues Narrative.

This powerful episode explores the lived experiences of the Children of The Great Migration — the Blues People whose lives carry the rhythms of survival, resistance, and Black cultural power in the face of systemic oppression.

In this broadcast, you’ll experience:

• 🎤 First-hand accounts and oral histories from tradition-bearers

• 🎶 Blues soundscapes that score our shared historical memory

• 📚 Critical theory grounded in Black ecological, cultural, and musical traditions

• 🗣️ Reflections on how the Blues functions as both archive and resistance

This series is the continuation of the Slave Narratives — a living archive voiced by those who inherited the legacy and forged new paths through song, story, and sound.

📡 Available now to members.

Your support helps us preserve, publish, and share the Black oral tradition — rooted in the real lives of our elders, our communities, and our future.
