ICONIC R&B GROUP NEW EDITION TO BE INDUCTED INTO NAACP IMAGE AWARDS HALL OF FAME.

-- NAACP Image Awards, March 7, 2024

(Don't know why it took until today to make the news. I first heard it this morning on NPR Radio News)

Let's give a little plug here for one of the experts on the 1980s, Nina Blackwood.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nina_Blackwood

She was a member of the very first group of MTV VJs and she has been a music scholar since age 4! I rarely use the word, "awesome," but Nina Blackwood really is awesome. It would be worth looking into whether she is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, so maybe we can get her into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
