African American Voices explores the history of African-American and Black performers, musicians, and composers in the United States beginning with Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield, America's first international Black star. The exhibit looks at the indelible influence that Black artists have had on American music and its popularity around the world. From the creation of Blues and Jazz to the classical compositions of Florence Price, African American Voices discusses the historical challenges that have been faced by Black artists in America since the founding of the nation.
