This presentation will explore the importance of incorporating racial trauma-informed strategies into music education, particularly in the context of popular music. By drawing on the rich cultural histories of Memphis and Chicago—two cities that have been at the forefront of racial integration and musical innovation—this session aims to equip educators with the tools to create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment.
