In this interview with Grey Armstrong, we will get into Part 2 of his blog series on iLindy.com, "Let's Talk about Lindy Hop and Blackness - How did we get here?"

Let's dig in on how Lindy Hop turned into a community where Black dancers and Black culture aren't welcome. It's important to understand this history to build a more inclusive and respectful community moving forward.
