A tall, middle aged white lady with dark blonde hair in long braids has a huge grin on her face as she frames a photo of playing age Buck O’Neil with her outstretched hands by the side of a road. The billboard reads Visit Three Carabelle Museums

"I don’t want you to say, 'Honey, I’m behind you.' Well, move, I don’t want you back there. Because you could be 200 miles behind. I want you to say, 'I’m with you.' And we’ll go up this freedom road together." - Fannie Lou Hamer (1917-1977) Activist and humanitarian.

Time to get a little sappy! We love music in part because it can channel any and every emotion we have. Wherever your head or heart is, there's a song that aligns perfectly. Especially when we're talking about love. Is there a more popular subject across all decades and genres of music than love? For Day 9 of the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge, share a song that sounds like what love feels like. 💕
