More info at https://nmaam.org "In the swift whirl of time, music is a constant, reminding us of what we were and of that toward which we aspired. Art thou troubled? Music will not only calm, it will ennoble thee." - Ralph Ellison: Living with Music.  This was a poignant quote Dr. Bennett offered in her interview. Books suggested were: "Warmth of Other Suns" by Isabel Wilkerson "Barracoon" by Zora Neale Hurston --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/askablackwoman/message
