Principais Lições
When Women Sang Freedom Into Existence
Picture a smoky tent in rural Georgia, 1923. Ma Rainey steps onto the stage wearing a headpiece with a thousand feathers, her neck heavy with gold and pearls. The crowd roars-not just because she's about to sing, but because she represents something revolutionary: a Black woman who travels where she wants, says what she thinks, and gets paid handsomely for it. When she opens her mouth to sing "Prove It on Me Blues," declaring "They must've been women, 'cause I don't like no men," she's doing more than performing. She's creating a blueprint for resistance that will echo through generations, from Billie Holiday's haunting protest songs to Beyonce's "Formation."
