Rosetta Miller-Perry always had a dream to start her own newspaper in Nashville, Tennessee. But when she asked big banks for help, they all said no. She wanted a place where the voices in her community could be heard. So Mrs. Miller-Perry used $70,000 of her own money and opened The Tennessee Tribune in 1992. In an interview with WSMV 4 Nashville, she said, "We inform the community about the good things about African Americans… We don't write about crime. We only talk about positive things."

Mrs. Miller-Perry is a U.S. Navy Veteran, married, and a mother of three. She graduated from the University of Memphis in 1956 and continued her education at Tennessee State University and Meharry Medical College for nurse training. The same year she founded the Tennessee Tribune, she also created the Anthony J. Cebrun Journalism Center with support from Dell Computers. The center was designed to help young people learn writing, reporting, and storytelling.

In the 1960s, she worked closely with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, according to The Tennessean. Mrs. Miller-Perry received the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019. Now in her 90s, she is still fighting for justice and uplifting her community.

Dust my broom

HEY LOCO FANS - Blues guitarist Elmore James was born January 27, 1918. Known as "King of the Slide Guitar" he was inducted into the Rock & Roll HOF in 1992 and his song "Dust My Broom" into the Grammy HOF in 1998.

No two ways about it, the most influential slide guitarist of the postwar period was Elmore James, hands down. Although his early demise from heart failure kept him from enjoying the fruits of the ’60s blues revival as his contemporaries Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf did, James left a wide influential trail behind him.

His signature lick — an electric updating of Robert Johnson ’s “I Believe I’ll Dust My Broom” and one that Elmore recorded in infinite variations from day one to his last session — is so much a part of the essential blues fabric of guitar licks that no one attempting to play slide guitar can do it without being compared to Elmore James. Others may have had more technique — Robert Nighthawk and Earl Ho**er immediately come to mind — but Elmore had the sound and all the feeling.

A radio repairman by trade, Elmore reworked his guitar amplifiers in his spare time, getting them to produce raw, distorted sounds that wouldn’t resurface until the advent of heavy rock amplification in the late ’60s. This amp-on-11-approach was hot-wired to one of the strongest emotional approaches to the blues ever recorded.

Elmore James always gave it everything he had, everything he could emotionally invest in a number. Few blues singers had a voice that could compete with James’; it was loud, forceful, prone to “catch” or break up in the high registers, almost sounding on the verge of hysteria at certain moments.

James died of a heart attack in Chicago in 1963, as he was about to tour Europe with that year's American Folk Blues Festival.
