When Solange Knowles said, “I’m not just an artist — I’m an archivist, a curator, and a student of sound,” she meant it. The University of Southern California clearly agrees. In a move that blends the worlds of art, academia, and activism, the USC Thornton School of Music has appointed Solange Knowles as its first-ever all-school Scholar in Residence. The three-year appointment marks a powerful cultural shift, recognizing the intellectual and historical value of Black art, c

Every fall, millions of Texans line up under the Ferris wheel lights at Fair Park for funnel cakes, Big Tex selfies, and that greasy-good fried-everything culture. But beneath the laughter, turkey legs, and marching bands lies a story that Dallas doesn’t talk about loud enough—the Texas State Fairgrounds were once a Ku Klux Klan recruitment site. Yep, the same grounds that now host the State Fair Classic, where Grambling State and Prairie View A&M’s drumlines shake the stadi

When we talk about hip-hop legends, Nasir “Nas” Jones is always in the conversation. From spitting some of the rawest bars on Illmatic to reshaping Queensbridge’s legacy, Nas has always been more than just a rapper. He’s a businessman, an investor, and now?

Women weren’t even allowed to serv

On September 27, 2025, a towering 10-foot bronze statue of Tina Turner was unveiled in Brownsville, Tennessee, just miles away from her childhood hometown of Nutbush. For a community that raised one of the greatest entertainers the world has ever seen, the tribute is monumental—literally. The statue was made possible with partial funding from Ford Motor Company’s Blue Oval City project, which donated $150,000 toward its creation. That kind of corporate investment in cultur

When Solange Knowles moves, it’s never just music. It’s art, it’s statement, it’s legacy. And now, she’s stepping into the world of archives and preservation with a project that has the potential to change how we access Black history, literature, and creativity. In September 2025, Solange officially launched the Saint Heron Community Library — a free, honor-based library and digital archive dedicated to rare, out-of-print, and first-edition works by Black and Brown authors,
