Rhiannon Giddens teams up with kindred banjo players as Our Native Daughters, an extraordinary project whose debut album Songs of Our Native Daughters shines new light on African American women’s stories of struggle, resistance, and hope. Drawing from 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-century sources, they reimagine our collective past and create new stories for our time. With unflinching, razor-sharp honesty, they confront frequently sanitized views about America’s history of slavery, racism, and misogyny from a powerful, black female perspective.
