African Ancestry celebrates 20 years; The Legacy Project celebrates Black history through music, community conversations

 

African Ancestry is celebrating 20 years of connecting people with their roots. African Ancestry co-founder Dr. Gina Paige returns to “Closer Look” to discuss the huge milestone and what’s next.

 

Plus, veteran radio host and jazz and blues aficionado H. Johnson will be honored with a Presidential Volunteers Service Award at the National Black Radio Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony this weekend. We revisit Rose’s conversation with H, as the two discuss the life and legacy of Ma Rainey, the “Mother of the Blues.” 

 

Lastly, The Black Legacy Project is working to advance racial solidarity, equity and belonging. Rose talks with Black Legacy Project co-directors Todd Mack and Trey Carlisle about how the project is connecting communities across the nation through music and roundtable discussions.
