Grab your cowboy hat and head on down to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library to celebrate Black Music Month with Alice Randall, on her new title My Black Country.

We are thrilled to partner with Mocha Media on this enlightening discussion with Alice Randall, acclaimed songwriter, novelist, and professor from Vanderbilt, to discuss her latest book, "My Black Country: A Journey Through Country Music’s Black Past, Present, and Future." Alice and Karen Alston will dive into the history of Black Country music and the impact of Black musicians on American culture. The discussion will be 45 minutes long, with 15 minutes at the end for audience questions. Following the program, MahoganyBooks will sell copies of My Black Country and attendees will have the opportunity to get their book signed by Alice.

Please register to attend. The DC Public Library Foundation sponsors this program by donating copies of the book to select attendees. You can learn more about My Black Country and Alice Randall below.
