McKinley "Muddy Waters" Morganfield (1913-1983) was a pioneering figure in the history of blues music. Born in Mississippi, Waters' electrifying performances and distinctive slide guitar style revolutionized the genre, earning him the title of "Father of Chicago Blues." His influence extended far beyond his music, as he played a crucial role in bringing the blues to mainstream audiences, ultimately paving the way for the development of rock and roll. Waters' impact on black history is profound, as his resilience, creativity, and unyielding spirit in the face of adversity not only elevated African American music but also challenged societal norms, breaking down racial barriers in the music industry. His legacy continues to inspire generations of musicians and remains an integral part of black cultural history.

In observance of DC Emancipation Day, ASALH will be closed on today, April 16th. We will resume regular business hours on April 17th, 2024.

DC Emancipation Day commemorates the anniversary of April 16, 1862, when President Abraham Lincoln signed the Compensated Emancipation Act, which abolished slavery in the District of Columbia. This significant event marked a crucial step towards freedom for African Americans in the nation's capital, preceding the broader Emancipation Proclamation by nearly nine months.

Emancipation Day serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for freedom and equality faced by Black Americans throughout history. It stands as a testament to the resilience and perseverance of those who fought tirelessly for justice and equality.
