Do you have archival materials to share?

As our film enters post-production, we continue our search for photos, films/videos, and documents related to Yusuf’s life and music. We are especially interested in materials related to Yusuf’s early years (1944–1974) when he often performed as Joe Blair/Joseph Oliver Blair and to his connections with Imam Kenneth Murray-Muhammad (Ken Murray), the Baltimore jazz scene in the 1940’s –1970’s, the Red Prysock Band in the 1950’s, and his Durham, NC years.

If you would like to share materials, please complete the form below with details and we will be back in touch. Thanks in advance for your support!
