I’m a man of my word. Told @draftkings_sports if Team USA scored first, the drinks were on me… 😂🇺🇸🍻 #USA #WorldCup

The racist Italian coach did not like that. You had 10 African countries in FIFA World Cup 2026.. and they perform much better than a lot of European and Asian countries.

Former #Houston guard Quentin Grimes just landed himself a new $60 million contract.

The blueprint is simple:
Come to Houston. Trust the process. Go get paid.

"People think that when we talk about...being Pro Black and what not, it means...being anti white. The only reason why they think that is because being pro white has always meant being anti Black. It's not the same thing."

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

The Roots Of Blues.

Blues music did not begin in a recording studio. It was born in the fields, churches, front porches, juke joints, and small towns of the American South. It emerged from the experiences of African Americans whose lives were shaped by slavery, emancipation, segregation, hard labor, faith, hope, and perseverance.

The roots of the blues stretch back to the spirituals, work songs, field hollers, and African musical traditions that enslaved Africans carried with them across the Atlantic. Even under unimaginable hardship, they preserved rhythms, vocal styles, storytelling, and call and response patterns that would become the foundation of one of the world’s most influential musical genres.

By the early 1900s, musicians like Charley Patton, Blind Blake, Blind Lemon Jefferson, and Robert Johnson helped define what would become known as country and Delta blues. Their songs told stories about everyday life, love, hardship, migration, faith, injustice, and survival. These were not just performances. They were personal histories put to music.

As the Great Migration saw millions of African Americans move from the South to cities like Chicago, Detroit, and St. Louis, the blues evolved with them. Muddy Waters brought the Delta sound to Chicago, where electric guitars and amplifiers transformed the genre. T-Bone Walker pioneered the electric blues guitar, influencing generations of musicians with his innovative playing style and stage presence.

Lonnie Johnson blurred the lines between blues and jazz with his remarkable guitar technique, while Howlin’ Wolf’s powerful voice became one of the defining sounds of Chicago blues. Then came B.B. King, whose expressive guitar playing and unmistakable sound earned him the title “King of the Blues.” His influence reached artists across every genre of modern music.

Without these pioneers, much of today’s popular music would sound very different. Blues laid the foundation for rock and roll, rhythm and blues, soul, funk, jazz, country, and even hip hop. Artists such as Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and countless others openly acknowledged their debt to Black blues musicians.

Yet for many years, the people who created this music received far less recognition and financial reward than those who later adapted their sound. Today, historians and music lovers continue working to ensure these pioneers receive the credit they deserve.
