  • Women's History Can Be Taught As a Unit in a United States History Class Or As a United States Women's History Elective
    Why Celebrate Woman's History Month by Alan Singer Throughout human history, including most of the history of the United States, women have been treated as second-class citizens. Their continuing second-class status is reflected in many social studies classrooms, where the roles played by women in society and their achievements in the past and present, continue to remain virtually invisible. Although women's names and faces now appear more frequently in social studies textbooks, their inclusion is generally an addition to an already existing curriculum. Female heroes were discovered and fit into previous topics and categories. There is little exploration of the role of women in earlier societies; the ways they lived, the accommodations they were forced to make to patriarchal and oppressive social mores, the familial and community networks and institutions they built, or the struggles women engaged in to achieve legal, political, and economic rights. In an article published by the National Council for Social Studies, Nel Noddings argued that a completely reconceptualized social studies curriculum should focus on women's culture, the realm of the home and family, the idea of women's work, and the role of women as community and international peacemakers.1 In his book, The Disuniting of America, Reflections on a Multicultural Society , Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. argues that the attention given to difference by multiculturalists and ethnocentrists threatens to reinforce "the fragmentation, resegregation, and tribalization of American life." He is particularly concerned that school curricula that focus on specific ethnic or aggrieved social groups are celebratory rather than academic and critical.

  • The Jones Tones
    Davey J and the Jones Tones are a veteran band of four musicians, all with a distinctive style and personality that The Chippewa Valley Blues Society presents blends into a powerful whole. As bandleader, Davey J's approach to the blues is all about the shuffle, a style and tempo pioneered in acoustic Delta blues and electric Chicago blues. When the four-piece band gets its groove on, you can hear the foot-tapping acoustic-electric sounds from the era of rockabilly, Nashville country and western, early rock and roll, and of course, classic Chicago blues. And in the midst of the traditional shuffle tempos and rich vocals, Davey J also uses processing tools of the 21st century to add an edge to his acoustic guitar sound. So, as the Jones Tones perform songs that range from the 1930s Delta blues to the blues styles of our time, the band pays tribute to blues traditions as well as creating an original new sound. Davey J (aka David Jones) is a native of Omaha, Nebraska. Calling himself a first-generation Midwesterner with family roots in Arkansas, David grew up hearing the sounds of soul, rock and roll, and folk from the 1960s and 70s, and is an avid listener and fan of several genres of music. After picking up a bit of piano and guitar as a child and teen, David's first band was "The Earplugs," a folk-punk band formed in 1982 when he was a college student in Iowa City, Iowa. He then taught high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, spent a lot of time songwriting, and after moving to Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1989, spent the decade of the 90s performing in several blues, reggae, and variety August 25, 2009 and Every Tuesday bands.

  • Black Women's Music Database
    By Stephanie Y. Evans & Stephanie Shonekan Black Women’s Music Database chronicles over 600 Africana singers, songwriters, composers, and musicians from around the world. The database was created by Dr. Stephanie Evans, a professor of Black women’s studies (intellectual history) and developed in collaboration with Dr. Stephanie Shonekon, a professor of Black studies and music (ethnomusicology). Together, with support from top music scholars, the Stephanies established this project to encourage interdisciplinary research, expand creative production, facilitate community building and, most importantly, to recognize and support Black women’s creative genius. This database will be useful for music scholars and ethnomusicologists, music historians, and contemporary performers, as well as general audiences and music therapists. Music heals. The purpose of the Black Women’s Music Database research collective is to amplify voices of singers, musicians, and scholars by encouraging public appreciation, study, practice, performance, and publication, that centers Black women’s experiences, knowledge, and perspectives. This project maps leading Black women artists in multiple genres of music, including gospel, blues, classical, jazz, R & B, soul, opera, theater, rock-n-roll, disco, hip hop, salsa, Afro- beat, bossa nova, soka, and more. Study of African American music is now well established. Beginning with publications like The Music of Black Americans by Eileen Southern (1971) and African American Music by Mellonee Burnim and Portia Maultsby (2006),

And before they dared press it on vinyl and send it to market, women had long told one another the unvarnished truth. If you think about it, the blues was the first serious public consciousness raising -- frank, sexy and mercifully non-PC. Since the first blues recordings were made by and for African-Americans, it wasn't necessary to deeply encode the plain facts. There is no mistaking what Bessie Smith meant when she sang, "I need a little sugar in my bowl." America's very first rush of popular-record buying was ignited in the '20s by the talents of black female blues artists who were telling it like it was, is and damn well ought to be. Folks just had to have it, at home and in dirt-floor juke joints. Call these women the true Mothers of Invention - - blues pioneers whose echoes are still heard in the most avant singer/songwriters and in the primmest Orlon'd girl groups. Like the best of rock, theirs was not a studied sound. Largely recording in the South, in makeshift studios, they were strong women singing hard truths in a 12-bar blues format.
