8/2/1900, North Carolina voters approved the disfranchisement amendment to the State Constitution.
White supremacist legislators designed the amendment to keep Black men in the state from voting. Anyone registering to vote had to pay a poll tax and pass a literacy test. A “grandfather clause” allowed anyone whose lineal ancestor could vote in 1867 (before the 1868 state constitution and the Fifteenth Amendment opened up the right to vote for Black North Carolinians) to skip the literacy test.

Part 4 of #SmithsonianHipHop Meaning in Music. What to wear? In the early 1980s, fashion brands faced a dilemma: embrace hip-hop, an exciting, raw sound straight from the streets, or shun it for fear of offending some audiences? Today, luxury brands clamor to collaborate with the hottest hip-hop stars, hoping to tap into their trendsetting gifts and global reach. The latest episode of “Meaning in Music” from Smithsonian Institution experts, Smithsonian Channel & MTV News recounts the history of hip-hop’s journey from the fringes of fashion, to becoming its favored collaborator and muse. #HipHopHistoryMonth #HipHopHistory
It's part 3 of #SmithsonianHipHop Meaning in Music exploring the history and meaning of sampling and remaking sounds into something new. Come visit #PiecesofNow at the #GsoHistory Museum to see how sampling of images and popular culture made their way into the creative protest expressions of 2020. Hip-hop’s unique sound and power are built on borrowing from other artists. It’s one part respectful tribute, to two parts raw creativity — a way to breathe new life into old songs. Join Smithsonian Institution experts, Smithsonian Channel & MTV News as they explore the techniques that help hip-hop maintain its modern sound while introducing younger audiences to music from the past. This episode of Meaning in Music is all about sampling! #HipHopHistoryMonth #HipHopHistory
Part 2 of #SmithsonianHipHop Meaning in Music looks at hip-hop and global protest. To see some of the influences of local hip-hop culture on the 2020 protests in Greensboro, visit #PiecesofNow at the museum through 11/28. Hip-hop has a unique ability to tackle thorny social and political issues and channel anger into action, influencing new generations. Take the example of “Fight the Power” by Public Enemy—a song that started out as an anthem for racial affirmation, and expanded to become a symbol of resistance for disenfranchised groups around the globe. Join artists like Vic Mensa and Taboo (Black Eyed Peas) as Smithsonian Institution experts, Smithsonian Channel & MTV News explore hip-hop’s unique ability to tackle thorny social and political issues in this episode of Meaning in Music. #HipHopHistoryMonth #HipHopHistory
Part 1 of #SmithsonianHipHop Meaning in Music looks at controversies and expectations around women MCs. (Note: This video contains adult themes.) During the Harlem Renaissance, artists like Ma Rainey and Lucille Bogan were blazing new trails. Their music, bursting with sexual energy and indignation, was their way of bypassing society’s oppressive expectations. Today, with the furor surrounding Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s hit song WAP, it’s clear that society is still not ready to embrace female artists embracing their sexuality. Join Smithsonian Institute experts, Smithsonian Channel, and MTV News as we track the trajectory of female artistry from its fraught beginnings to the pinnacle of hip-hop today in the premiere of Meaning in Music, with your host Dometi Pongo. ⬇️ #HipHopHistoryMonth #HipHopHistory Episodes coming your way each Tuesday in November.
How did hip-hop go from an underground art form on the fringes of popular music, to the juggernaut it is today? One answer: its uncanny ability to produce songs that speak to the moment and demand to be heard. This November, Greensboro History Museum is partnering with Smithsonian Affiliations to share a new digital video series. In Meaning in Music, Smithsonian Institution experts, Smithsonian Channel, and MTV News explore the impact of hip-hop on all corners of culture. Watch for all five videos coming your way, along with local connections to #gsohistory and our exhibition #PiecesofNow (on view through 11/28!). #HipHopHistory #HipHopHistoryMonth #SmithsonianHipHop

One of the best ways for families to pass down wealth is through home equity. However, home ownership has been unattainable for many African Americans. Historical discriminatory lending regulations have led to systemically-ingrained segregation through the zoning practice of “redlining.” Chuck Byrd (Founder, Greensboro Chamber of Commerce Other Voices), Sue Schwartz (Greensboro Planning Department), Stephen Sills (UNCG Center for Housing and Community Studies) and Wilson Lester (Piedmont Business Capital) examine systemic barriers to home ownership and generational wealth in this conversation moderated by Stan Wilson (Greensboro Neighborhood Development).
