Pambazuka - Open letter to President Barack Hussein Obama
Excerpt
"Sir Duke Ellington pointed out nearly a century ago that we as a people must call our music ‘Negro’ (Black) music so others could not dishonestly claim it as theirs. Black music is one of the many gifts that Africa and Africans have presented to the world."
