  How can ANYONE not be moved by her music, her voice, her musicianship, her talent?

  She makes an excellent point in that it is not enough to acknowledge slavery was terrible without humanizing the stories and the lives that were sold, beaten, raped & killed. It is easy to have an academic understanding of something without having an emotional understanding. We cannot prevent systemic injustices from reoccurring if do not recognize the individual tragedies!!!

  You can&apos;t listen to Rhiannon and her fellow band members without the music touching your soul. It is spiritual, it is educational, but mostly it really binds you to the experience being retold, and also what has carried into today.

  She is one beautiful and talented lady. &nbsp;I like the fact she reaches across all barriers to bring appreciation to Americana music, whether it be African, Soul, Original Country, Bluegrass, Gospel, or Historical Folk music (both the white and black cultures). &nbsp;She is a complete entertainer (vocally and instrumentally). &nbsp;Loved when she performed at the Grand Ole Opry.

  If jeff Beck bends notes, and he does, this beautiful lady bends genres from 200 years ago. &nbsp;She&apos;s a national treasure.

  Her storytelling by singing is enlightening! I wish history was taught like the way she does it.
