Joad Family Album, 1938 (Horace Bristol)
In the winter of 1937-38, photographer Horace Bristol and writer John Steinbeck teamed up for a Life magazine assignment and for nearly two months traveled California interviewing migrant workers of the Great Central Valley. Before finishing the project, however, Steinbeck withdrew—deciding to utilize the research for his novel The Grapes of Wrath instead of an article for Life. When Steinbeck’s book was published in 1939, Life ran an article featuring the photographs taken by Bristol. Rather than using the real names of those photographed, Life used the fictional names of Steinbeck’s characters with captions featuring excerpts from The Grapes of Wrath—thus creating a photo album for the fictional Joad family that has since been mistaken for reality…

Jazz in the 1930s.
Rock ‘n’ roll in the 1950s.
Disco in the 1970s.
Hip hop today.
And what’s interesting is
They co-opted all of those things and are clawing at hip-Hop
Trying to make it their own
Don’t forget Blues, R&B, Soul, etc.
And what I think is funny is American popular music
BEGAN with minstrel songs… where Whites used to where Blackface
and pretend to be Black.
So literally, American music at its birth was Whites poorly imitating Black people.
& then people wanna be like
“BUT HIP HOP AINT JUST ABOUT BLAAACK PEOPLE, ITS FOR EVERYONE!! HAHAHA”
Not so gentle reminder that without Black folks
the US would have no musical legacy to speak of.

Ein Film der American Mutoscope and Biograph Company, 1904.
Princess Rajah performs an “Oriental” or belly dance, and a balancing chair act in her teeth like that often found in folk performances in various cultures from Northern Africa to Greece. According to vaudeville historians Joe Laurie, Jr. and Douglas Gilbert, Princess Rajah started as a “cooch” (an early form of belly dance) dancer at Coney Island in the 1890s. She was booked for a time at Huber’s Museum in New York City before Willie Hammerstein presented her in her vaudeville debut at Hammerstein’s Victoria theatre on 42nd Street. In addition to her dance with a chair, she also performed an Oriental dance with snakes. She later married agent Clifford C. Fischer.

George Lincoln Rockwell (1918 – 1967) was the founder of the American Nazi Party. In the 1960s, he attempted to draw attention by starting a small record label. A truncated version of one of his band’s recordings, “Ship Those Niggers Back,” appears in the documentary The California Reich. When the Freedom Riders drove their campaign to desegregate bus stations in the Deep South, Rockwell secured a Volkswagen van and decorated it with swastikas and white supremacist slogans, dubbing it the “Hate Bus” and personally driving it to speaking engagements and party rallies.
