As of July 2009, content in African American Song has now been incorporated into American Song.  African American Song will no longer be maintained as a stand-alone resource.  If desired, you can restrict results in American Song to African American content in two ways:

1. Browse by Genre – there is a broad category called "African American Music," which restricts your results, and which you can narrow further by sub-genre, ensemble, artist, etc.

2. Browse by Album/Track – there is a "restrict results to African American content only" checkbox on the upper right hand corner of both browses.
