Dates documented in local Black newspapers and press clippings of the era. Thanks to my friends at MJJVault for help in pulling together the chronology, especially Justin, Corey, Chris, LKizzle, Jaorecords, Jaywonder, EZ, and the hostess with the most-est, Christina. And a special thanks to the old-school fan and chronologist, Tony, who started it all.
