Nina Simone

Feeling Rebloggy 

In honor of African-American Music Appreciation Month (aka Black Music Month), the childhood home of legendary artist/civil rights activist Nina Simone is being designated as a National Treasure by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Concurrently, Simone’s home in Tryon, North Carolina will be the first music site to be restored by the National Trust’s African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund, an initiative with the Ford Foundation launched last November.
