¼ª²ÊÍøÍøÕ¾ is proud to present the world premiere of the video for "Black Woman" performed by Dom Flemons. The song was explained in the first episode of and is included on Dom’s .
Dom chose "Black Woman" to honor the thousands of African-American women who built churches, schools, and communities, bringing structure to the new territories. In the 1995 book , author William Loren Katz writes, "It has been argued that since African-American women were a tiny minority within a Western minority, omitting them [from popular culture, including books, music, and film] was hardly an act of discrimination. Although few in number, they earned an honored niche in the saga of the wilderness. As the nation grapples with the history of its multi-cultural past, the story of the frontier African-American women deserves a telling."
