pbsamericanmasters | Rapper and actor Daveed Diggs reflects on the creative process and collaboration behind “Dead Channel Sky,” the latest release from his group clipping. He shares how the group approaches storytelling through sound and explores themes that feel eerily relevant to our current world.

Charley Pride To Receive Inaugural Crossroads Of American Music Award At GRAMMY Museum® Mississippi's Annual Gala

Charley Pride 

    CLEVELAND, Miss. - Three-time GRAMMY® Award-winning, Mississippi-born country artist Charley Pride will be the inaugural recipient of GRAMMY Museum® Mississippi's Crossroads of American Music Award at the Mississippi Museum's 2019 Gala on Friday, Nov. 1. Established by the Museum's Board of Directors, the Crossroads of American Music Award honors an artist who has made significant musical contributions influenced by the creativity born in the cradle of American music. Pride will appear at the Museum's 2019 Gala to accept the award on Nov. 1 at GRAMMY Museum Mississippi.

     "We are thrilled to recognize the great Charley Pride as the first-ever recipient of our Crossroads of American Music Award," said Emily Havens, Executive Director of GRAMMY Museum Mississippi. "As a native of Mississippi, Charley has had a significant impact on American music with his uncompromising honky-tonk country music. Charley broke new ground in the '60s when he emerged as one of the most successful black country artists at that time. It's an honor to recognize Charley Pride as the inaugural recipient of our Crossroads of American Music Award."

     GRAMMY Museum Mississippi's Red Carpet Guild, an organization of committed volunteers whose mission is to promote, support and sustain the Mississippi Museum, is currently developing plans for the Mississippi Museum's 2019 Gala, with this year's theme being "Girls, Guitars, & Rocktail Bars." The Gala will celebrate the impact of women on music, and proceeds will benefit the music education initiatives of the Mississippi Museum. The event will take place on Friday, Nov. 1, at 6 p.m. at GRAMMY Museum Mississippi and will feature a reception, dinner and cocktails, live music, and a silent and live auction. Additional details regarding the 2019 Gala are forthcoming.

    “I'm honored to be the first recipient of this award from the GRAMMY Museum Mississippi," said Pride. "And thankful to the many great American music artists before me that helped to pave the way for my success. I applaud the Museum for celebrating those artists and championing the importance of American music.”

   Encore Broadcast of American Masters - Charley Pride: I'm Just Me: A special encore presentation of American Masters – Charley Pride: I’m Just Me airs Thursday, September 19 at 9 p.m. on PBS(check local listings) to coincide with the premiere of Country Music, a new eight-part, 16-hour film directed by Ken Burns, which features Charley Pride, premiering Sunday, September 15 through Wednesday, September 18, and Sunday, September 22 through Wednesday, September 25 at 8-10 p.m. on PBS (check local listings). Additionally, the documentary is streaming at pbs.org/americanmasters and on the PBS apps.

     American Masters – Charley Pride: I’m Just Me traces the improbable journey of Charley Pride, from his humble beginnings as a sharecropper’s son on a cotton farm in segregated Sledge, Mississippi to his career as a Negro League baseball player and his meteoric rise as a trailblazing country music superstar. The new documentary reveals how Pride’s love for music led him from the Delta to a larger, grander world. In the 1940s, radio transcended racial barriers, making it possible for Pride to grow up listening to and emulating Grand Ole Opry stars like Ernest Tubb and Roy Acuff. The singer arrived in Nashville in 1963 while the city roiled with sit-ins and racial violence. But with boldness, perseverance and undeniable musical talent, he managed to parlay a series of fortuitous encounters with music industry insiders into a legacy of hit singles, a Recording Academy "Lifetime Achievement Award" and a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

    The film includes original interviews with country music royalty, including Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton, Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker and Marty Stuart. It also includes several on-camera conversations between Pride and special guests, including Rozene Pride (his wife of 61 years), Willie Nelson, and other fellow musicians. The film also features many songs from his repertoire of classic country hits, along with more modern cuts like "Standing In My Way," from his latest album Music In My Heart, released in 2017.

     View the Trailer Below:

          On January 30, 2019 the film made its world premiere at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. The premiere featured an appearance by Charley Pride himself, along with special guest artists featured in the film, including the film's narrator Tanya Tucker, Jimmie Allen, Janie Fricke, and Sylvia Hutton. Members of the media, and other family and friends of Pride also attended. After the film a Q&A was hosted by the film's director Barbara Hall, and journalist Robert K. Oermann, Country Music Hall of Fame's Peter Cooper, and Charley Pride.

Wow. Peaceful journeys to the musical genius, artist-activist, educator @officialrobertaflack Roberta Cleopatra Flack, who transitioned today at age 88. A @howard1867 graduate, Ms. Flack was a fixture in Washington DC at the famous Mr. Henry's lounge during the time that I lived in the area. I'd like to imagine that she will soon be "back together" with her musical soulmate, the great #DonnyHathaway.

According to a statement by her representatives: “We are heartbroken that the glorious Roberta Flack passed away this morning, February 24, 2025... She died peacefully surrounded by her family. Roberta broke boundaries and records. She was also a proud educator.”

I will be rewatching this episode of “American Masters - Roberta Flack” @pbsamericanmasters: "From 'First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' to 'Killing Me Softly,' Flack’s virtuosity was inseparable from her commitment to civil rights."

‘A status not freely chosen or entered into by an individual or a group is necessarily one of oppression and the oppressed are by their nature (i.e., oppressed) forever in ferment and agitation against their condition and what they understand to be their oppressors. If not by overt rebellion or revolution, then in the thousand and one ways they will devise with and without consciousness to alter their condition....’ -Lorraine Hansberry . Watched this incredible film on @pbsamericanmasters with my family tonight. . The film was rich in history, in its parallels to our current time, and its storytelling of Ms. Hansberry and her incredible work. . Most of all, I was really struck and in awe of her determination, her life as an artist, and her refusal to give up on her work and her dreams! Beyond inspired, I love to watch films like this that seem to reinvigorate the artist spirit within me too. 😌💞🎶 . If you haven’t yet, definitely take the time out to watch this film. I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I did. . Have a great night, Loved Ones! 🤗 . http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/lorraine-hansberry-sighted-eyesfeeling-heart-film/9846/

Meet Some of the Women featured in the American Masters Web Series  Inspiring Woman... 

...The following post is part of American Masters’ #InspiringWomanPBS campaign, which highlights the powerful, creative, and innovative women in our lives. Visit the Inspiring Woman page to join the campaign and submit the story of a woman who inspires you.

On November 7, 2017, American Masters held a preview event for its inaugural web series, Inspiring Woman at Electropositive, a co-working space that focuses on social innovation and impact.

The evening included a panel discussion with three women featured: Tatyana Fazlalizadeh, the visual artist behind the street art campaign “Stop Telling Women to Smile;” Rakia Reynolds, founder and CEO of Skai Blue Media; and Sara Chipps, JavaScript developer and founder of Jewelbots. The panel was moderated by MetroFocus host Jenna Flanagan.

The panelists discussed challenges they had each overcome as entrepreneurs, finding balance with busy schedules, and the sometimes-overlooked aspects of their work that motivates them to excel in their respective fields.

The event ended with a reception, where guests were able to meet the panelists, network with other guests, and contribute submissions to American Masters’ #InspiringWomanPBS online campaign.
