00:02 - Lauren, I want you to think about
00:08 how African-American music is like a quilt.
00:13 - A quilt that goes on a bed?
00:16 - A quilt that is a work of art.
00:19 Quilts are living history.
00:24 They contain layers with pieces of material
00:27 stitched together.
00:29 Some quilters combine stories and culture
00:32 from our rich history in this country
00:34 and sew it all into one single quilt.
00:38 - But what do quilts have to do with music?
00:43 - Music does the same thing.
00:44 We are going to cover the following music genres.
00:52 The music during the time of slavery,
00:57 Negro spirituals, the blues, ragtime,
01:02 jazz, the Harlem Renaissance, gospel,
01:06 the civil rights movement, soul and R&B, and hip hop.
01:11 You are going to have fun seeing how each genre
01:15 is connected to the others just like a quilt.
