The Great Migration is so fascinating & I’m so happy Shonda is doing a show about it. Aretha was part of that migration. She left (Miss I think) for Detroit at 4. Same story for many musicians at that time who ended up in Detroit. The city (like many others) offered so many...

I LOVE hearing my momma talk about growing up in Detroit in the 60’s & 70’s. It seemed like such a magical place. Ofcourse I’m romanticizing it but really...for Black American culture, it was more important than Hollywood. Sounds & music that originated in the south just...
...became Motown. Yes, I’m from Detroit, both parents born & raised there so I may be biased 😂. I really want to see more stories from the city.
*Memphis* not Miss.
