The #oscar winning #screenplay for #americanfiction by #cordjefferson asks important questions about #culturalsensitivity in the #us in the #21stcentury . These same questions were asked by #zoranealehurston all the way back in 1950. This century's attitudes have caused a reevaluation of the work of #alanlomax (a champion of #ethnomusicology #folkmusic #folklife #folklore and #folksongs ) who made early recordings of the #blues (#bluesmusic ); preserving the work of #leadbelly , #muddywaters and so many others. This video looks at how altered definitions of Cultural Equity today have primed Lomax's work for a second look.
