Journey to the Land of the Blues

Journey to the Land of the Blues is a program that takes students on a lively journey through the history of the blues, a music created out of the Southern African-American experience and one of the roots of Rock and Roll. Throughout the program, stories of social and cultural conditions are woven into the history of the music, including the experiences of slaves, the "Great Migrations" of African-Americans, and the technological advances that affected music and everyday life.
