West Side is catching up in public awareness with the famous Black South Side. Both sections of Chicago hosted lots of blues music back in the day, and blues is at the root of all Black music and American popular music in general. Read all about this heritage in the CULTURE newspaper as FOUR Blues stages a blues and poetry show at the Austin Town Hall, which is already hosting a West Side Black music photo exhibit by Gregg Parker of the Chicago Blues Museum. Listen to an interview on Culture editor Mike Romain's podcast aired March 25, 2026, featuring Barrelhouse Bonni promoting the FOUR Blues “Music and Reparations” program for March 27-28. https://ourculture.us/ep-08-a-weekend-of-justice-blues-with-arewa-ekua-bonni-mckeown/
