Black Catholicism
Black Catholicism or African-American Catholicism comprises the African American people, beliefs, and practices in the Catholic Church. There are currently around 3 million Black Catholics in the United States, making up 6% of the total population of African Americans, who are heavily Protestant, and 4% of American Catholics. Black Catholics are today a heavily immigrant population, with only 68% being born in the United States, while 12% were born in Africa, 11% were born in the Caribbean and 5% born in other parts of Central or South America. About a quarter of Black Catholics worship in historically black parishes, most of which were established during the Jim Crow era as a means of racial segregation. Others were established in black communities and merely reflected the surrounding population, while the most recent crop came about due to population displacement (White Flight) during and after the Great Migration. Prior to Vatican II, Black Catholics attended Mass in La ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Maki Asakawa
was a Japanese jazz and blues singer, lyricist and composer. She was an important voice of the Japanese urban counterculture. It is written in ''The Japan Times'' that she "made her name in 1970" with ''The World of Maki Asakawa'' and is known for songs like "Yo ga Aketara" and "Kamome", as well as for the ''Darkness'' collections. Conversely, Thom Jurek of AllMusic described her album ''Blue Spirit Blues'' (1972) as "perhaps her most memorable recording" and reported that works such as ''Maki II'' (1971) and ''Cat Nap'' (1982) are well-known. Ben Ratliff wrote, "Some of the most intense recordings she made were English-language covers or Japanese rewrites of American jazz standards, blues songs, and spirituals, backed by only acoustic guitar and drums. (If you can get her 1972 album ''Blue Spirit Blues'', you'll hear this tendency clearest.) She sang slowly, as if there were weights on her."
