		From 1900-1920, ethnic music was on a rise and soon it became one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the United States.

	MUSICians United to Support Intact Children
		Despite the overwhelming medical evidence against infant circumcision, the United States is the only country in the world that continues to routinely circumcise the majority of its male infants for non-religious reasons.
		Female Genital Mutilation has been outlawed in the United States but because this law is gender specific, it is in violation of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution that affords equal protection to all Americans.
		The American Academy of Pediatrics estimates that each year, "1.2 million newborn males are circumcised in the United States annually at a cost of between $150 and $270 million." That estimate does not include fees for supplies, hospital and nursing fees or expenses for follow-up care of circumcisions that result in complication.

	Another history of bluegrass: the segregation of popular music in the United States, 1820-1900 - 1 Popular Music and ...
		Musical interactions do not occur at random, but are indicators always of an empathy, even across a social or cultural barrier, which is not necessarily or even usually conscious.
		That such empathy exists, at levels deeper than those feelings of fear and guilt which lie at the root of racism, is borne out by the history of the musical interaction that occurred in the United States--and, indeed, wherever such encounters occurred.
		Bluegrass music carries with it two definitive notions: that it is an antiquated style which goes "way back," and that it is, and always has been, a traditional music of white people.
