I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Description of Subject Matter: Musical Crossroads
September 24, 2016 – Indefinitely
This exhibition tells the story of African American music from the arrival of the first Africans to today’s hip-hop. Here, history and culture intermingle and music serves as the crossroads between musical traditions and stories of cultural and social development. The gallery is organized by musical genres and themes rather than chronologically, covering classical, sacred, rock ’n’ roll, hip-hop ,and more.
Among the artifacts in this sound-filled area are:
* Marian Anderson’s outfit from her 1939 concert at the Lincoln Memorial
* neon sign from Minton’s Playhouse (1938) in Harlem, known as the birthplace of bebop, where Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, and Dizzy Gillespie performed at Monday-night jam sessions
* piano and bench used by Thomas Dorsey (known as the father of gospel) at the Pilgrim Baptist Church in Chicago, where he served as music director for 40 years. Mahalia Jackson, Aretha Franklin, and The Staples Singers are among those who sang at the church.
* Chuck Berry’s red Cadillac
* objects related to Public Enemy, the group that voiced the tenets of black pride and racial awareness.
