Quick Glance: Beyoncé: Diversity in Country Music and Challenges Ahead
- Beyoncé's latest project is not only No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for the second consecutive week, but she became the first Black woman to top Billboard’s country album chart.
- Beyoncé's steamrolling into country music – and her motivation behind it — has reignited discussions about the genre’s origins and its diversity.
- Reyna Roberts is part of a new generation of artists, like Shaboozey, Tanner Adell and Willie Jones, who are fusing country with other genres like hip-hop.
- Fans and experts seem to agree that Beyoncé has created an education on Black country trailblazers like Linda Martell and Rhiannon Giddens, and is providing an immeasurable amount of attention toward existing artists.

Voters in Enid, Oklahoma, oust city council member with ties to white nationalism
pbs.org/newshour/politics/voters-in-enid-oklahoma-oust-city-council-member-with-ties-to-white-nationalism
Quick Glance: Enid, Oklahoma Residents Remove Council Member Associated with White Nationalism
- In Enid, a city in northwest Oklahoma, residents ousted a city council member with ties to white nationalism, as indicated by unofficial results released on Tuesday on the Oklahoma Election Board website.
- Following the reporting of results from all four precincts in Ward 1 in Enid, it was revealed that voters decided to remove 42-year-old Judd Blevins. Instead, Cheryl Patterson, a grandmother and longtime youth leader at a local church, was chosen to take his place.
- Despite his connections to white nationalist groups, Blevins, an Iraq War veteran, was narrowly elected to the position last year.
- The initiative for the recall in Oklahoma was instigated by two long-time Enid residents, close friends Connie Vickers and Nancy Presnall, both Democrats in a region where Republicans hold a voter registration advantage of nearly 4-to-1.
