I was listening to Nina Simone’s “To Be Young, Gifted, and Black” on Sunday, like I usually do, it’s my theme song. After that song, I played Curtis Mayfield’s “Miss Black America” while doing laundry and began to play with a playlist theme. These songs all feature the word “Black” in the title and give various perspectives from singers and rappers over vast decades giving their definitions and interpretations of the Black experience.
