'Black Diamond Queens': A Conversation Between Maureen Mahon and Ann Powers
Музыка
In partnership with The National Museum of African American History and Culture, join NPR Music for an engaging conversation highlighting African American women who have played a pivotal part in the rock and roll genre. Although African American women have influenced rock and roll, their presence in the genre has been diminished in favor of narratives of rock being dominated by White men. Journalist, cofounder and driving force behind NPR Music's Turning The Tables series Ann Powers will interview Maureen Mahon, author of Black Diamond Queens, to discuss how African American women have laid the foundation for rock and roll-from chart-topping hits and stage personas. The interview will also highlight recordings, albums, photographs, and other archival materials within the museum’s collections that document African American women’s history in rock and roll between the 1950s to the present.
This program is produced in partnership with The National Museum of African American History and Culture, and part of the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative - #BecauseOfHerStory

A book which talks about Devon Wilson must be quite excellent ! Congratulations for this great interview.
Loved this conversation, Maureen! I pre-ordered your book from Greenlight a few weeks ago and can’t wait to read it. Wishing you all the best!

Great interview, interested in the book , I believe on Amazon now. My question does the author discuss how the great ladies of R@B/Rock/Blues/Soul/Motown , etc. were mistreated and how they endured more abuse compared to their male counterpoints, be it racism/sexism/financial. When read the stories of Tina Turner, Tammi Terrell ,Patti Labelle and countless other great ladies you see how they sacrificed so much to become stars. Just my thoughts before I buy the book and question if this aspect is discussed. It could be a a sensitive topic it may shatter the myth of famous record companies, producers and others. Regards, Jay Balvin
Good stuff
Dope 😎
