History on Tap: Behind the Beat
<p>Sean Donaldson, from the African American Museum of Iowa, will take us from African beats to the jazz of the Harlem Renaissance to the popular music of the Civil Rights movement.

Each musical style has ties to history, such as jazz and the Harlem Renaissance or Motown and the Civil Rights Movement. To understand history, you just have to look Behind the Beat!
