Once again raising the evidence of Black Vs white gigs and what was and was 
not acceptable in many places across the USA.

Racisim actually did exist folks, and unfortunately still does in many places 
even though they don't come right out and say so.

Just for the record and history, the Black Musicians should change their name 
to 9/11 they have not and never will forget.
