There have been multi-artist box sets, documentaries about key artists and genres and much scholarship on the subject, but there are some things only a well-designed museum can do, with its immersive command on our attention and its cross-generational appeal. And now, after almost twenty years of talking, imagining, fund-raising, construction and research, the National Museum of African American Music is open in the heart of downtown Music City. It’s a first-of-its-kind experience, a $60 million investment in the city’s cultural life and a kind of challenge to the country music tourism frenzy just out the museum’s doors on Lower Broadway.
Capital Has No Borders: What Happens Post-COVID Crisis?
This title is so true and an essential concept for traders to understand when assessing markets trends more broadly.
Capital truly has no borders. It flows freely like the sea and sometimes it comes in gently like the tide, raising all boats. Sometimes it crashes on a nation’s shore like a tidal wave.

There’s a central room in the new National Museum of African American Music – one that connects to all other corners of the 56,000-square-foot space.
It’s called the “Rivers of Rhythm” corridor, and once you step inside, you’re awash in the sounds that have defined America for 400 years.
On one end, you hear voices harmonizing over centuries-old spirituals, blending into the earliest recordings of Delta blues. At the same time, the opening saxophone flourishes of John Coltrane’s “A Love Supreme” beckon from the other side of the hall, while Ice Cube tears into the first bars of “Straight Outta Compton.”
