| Comments |
| "The blues I decided, gave rap some credibility.
Blues was people talking about their lives, how they thought,
and what they felt, and rap was an earlier form of "art"
that came from the blues tradition... at least it had noble
roots." -Kate Fiorucci |
| (Inspired by the museum) "I, Kristina
and Lindsay are going to start our own juke joint in the
Delta called Bamba Jazz." -Kristina Riordan |
| "The blues represent the black experience
in the south, full of pain and suffering. What struck me
most about this museum, ...was its seemingly out of the
way location, like a hidden gem in a poor neighborhood."
-Student |
| " Who knew that Big Mama Thorton sang
the original "Hound Dog"?" -Sara Solomon |
