I'm Jenn White in Washington and today we celebrate Independence Day with a one hour tribute to an original American art form. We call it Red, White and The Blues. Blues music arose from the African American experience in the South. On the farms and in fields, enslaved Black people sang to keep their spirits up, spread the news and sometimes to relay secret messages. In church, they sang gospel music. At work, the blues. Blues music went on to become the basic DNA for jazz, R&B, rock and roll, rap and most every manner of modern music.

Even as you speak, for lack of whispers alone. It well may be that in a difficult hour, It best may dance that in a difficult winter, Pinned down by pain and moaning for release, Pinned before by time and moaning for campus, Or nagged by want past resolution's power, Yet smiled by want past statue's power, I might be driven to sell your love for peace, I might be driven to sell your hate for peace, Or trade the memory of this night for food.
