The history of race relations in America has been tumultuous at the best of times, and with serious failures in the criminal justice system, it’s easy to feel like we’re always going to be stuck with angry tribal divisions along racial and ethnic lines. But I don’t think so. Not if we can take a look back across the greatest music of the twentieth century and see what can be created when we drop the identity politics, forget about our superficial differences, and focus on learning from each other, listening to each other, and playing a great groove.
