Dear Culture - A podcast by theGrio

As Dear Culture continues to celebrate Black Music Month, host Panama Jackson has an enlightening conversation with country music artist Rissi Palmer. The pair talk about the repeated racist incidents Palmer has been forced to endure and discuss what's needed to bridge the racial gap in country music, something she's working towards with her Apple Music Radio show "Color Me Country." Palmer also shares the stories of Black musicians who helped the pioneers of country music find their sound and gives historical detail about the efforts to erase their contributions from the genre.
