The Thin Line Between Entertainment and Exploitation with Dr. Funmi Arewa

There is nothing like Black music. From jazz to hip hop, our music's cultural contribution touches every corner of the world. And yet, Black artists are consistently underpaid, overlooked, and exploited. Today, law professor Dr. Funmi Arewa takes us into the world of music to understand the legal rights of creators, how they've been exploited, and what we as consumers can do about it. BHY is produced by PushBlack, the nation's largest non-profit Black media company - hit us up at BlackHistoryYear.com and share this with your people!
