We Shouldn't Try to Hold Biden Hostage on This One

Seven prominent Black women activists have made a strong case, and a bit of stir, in a Washington Post Op-Ed, "Biden Still Needs Black Women. Here are 3 Things He Needs to Do."

However, the diversity of the female performers/honorees and winners -- not only in terms of race, but also musical genre and generation (from legends like Dolly Parton and Diana Ross to newcomers like Camila Cabello, Dua Lipa, and H.E.R.) -- is worth noting and applauding. Let's hope it's a sign of a more equitable future in the music industry.
