.@aliciakeys said it best, I want people to come away knowing "[Black women's] truth as artists is a unique truth... a layered truth... a complex truth... one that is so beautiful... so incredibly moving... and deserves to be told & heard & understood & recognized & celebrated.”

[Mehret Mandefro @DrMehret]

A8:The level of creative control these women exerted is monumental and should remind all artists that if we get clear about what it is we want to say, and have the courage to stay true to it - u can create culture shifting art despite industry demands. #americanmasterspbs

I love how even at moments when they succeeded many of the women talked about how other black women weren't being allowed through the doors as much as they should have. And I can never get over the glory of #LenaHorne's "beautiful madness." #AmericanMastersPBS
