Over his career, Miles Davis, a household name in jazz history, evolved the genre countless times.  In addition to becoming widely recognized for his experimental approach to music and dexterity on the trumpet, Davis became an essential figure in the 1940s bebop movement's development. With his revolutionary records, such as "Kind of Blue," which is now one of the best-selling jazz albums in history, he continued in advancing boundaries. Beyond solely his career as a musician, Davis was a vital figure in the civil rights movement, utilized his influence to campaign for racial justice and equality. Miles Davis provoked generations of creatives and activists with his music and activism, leaving a lasting tradition on jazz and Black history. 

And now the Pledge of Allegiance!

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
