What is happening to Black Sacred Music? The music for us to sing in church? I mean the music that captured the sound of our history, theology, and the tone of our struggle.

I’m wondering why has CCM replaced the sound of Gospel music and who is getting paid for the switch? Are there no longer writers and composers indigenous to the Black Christian experience in America?

No new voices producing music that tells our story, envisions our victory, or inspires hope amid our struggle?
