Memphis, Tennessee

Visiting the Stax museum has been a completely different experience for me than the other sites we have visited over the course of the past week. The old recording studio located in Memphis, Tennessee produced music for so many talented musicians which were both black and white. It was the one place where individuals could coexist freely and see each other for their talents, as opposed to their skin color or generational stereotyping. This honestly was very hopeful for me because soul music reached so many people. Individuals were able to connect to the music even in other countries when musicians and singers went on tour. It was so interesting to see how soul music originated from a combination of the blues, gospel, and country music.
