Grooving to a Different BeatSo we were thinking about the holidays and we started thinking about the whole "white Christmas" thing -- as both a song and a metaphor. That got us to thinking about how and why African-Americans started putting their stamp on the holiday. Which led naturally to thinking about the great holiday songs we all love, from the Jackson 5 to the mighty Temptations.
We started looking around and soon found Mark Anthony Neal, a professor at Duke University who actually studies African-American history and pop culture (that's what's so great about America -- and Google). We got his take on the subject and listened to some great tunes. We were grooving all week long!
