Special Portfolio: On Race & Media: Music

by Onajah Joseph Music is the vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. In no way does that definition mention musical segregation by race. Today’s society has propelled the idea of racial segregation into music.  Through social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, people often state that certain music is for white people and certain music is for non-white people.
