Reyna Roberts performed and spoke on a panel during the BMAC's Three Chords and the Actual Truth live event in Nashville.Black artists to country music have been marginalized, minimized, and, in some cases, wholly erased from the genre’s history. A group of songwriters, singers, activists, and journalists aimed to set the record straight on Wednesday during a live panel discussion in Nashville.
Roberts, backed by her band, would go on to perform at the end of the event, showing off a voice that has won raves from Carrie Underwood to Mickey Guyton. The CMA apparently took notice too: Roberts was recently added to the CMA Fest nightly concerts lineup at Nissan Stadium, where she’ll perform the national anthem on Thursday, June 6.
Along with the country history panel, the event included an announcement by the BMAC that it is developing legislation for guaranteed income for communities in the state of Tennessee. Rep. Justin Pearson — one of the— was on hand to discuss the initiative with Stiggers and Mayor Michael Tubbs of Mayors for a Guaranteed Income.
