He may not have reproduced the oldest known audio recording, but this do-gooder works diligently to preserve the rich culture and heritage of DC through its music. In this episode, we sit down with Charvis Campbell, co-founder of Home Rule Records, a community-focused record store in Washington, DC. He discusses the challenges and rewards of running one of the few Black-owned record stores in the country and the importance of supporting local artists and businesses. He is also the executive director of the Home Rule Music and Film Preservation Foundation, which promotes, supports and preserves DC music and film through performance, education, and advocacy. They also sponsor an annual music festival coming up soon! Join them in celebrating DC’s rich history of jazz and go-go music at an opening night party (Friday, June 21) and free outdoor performances (Saturday, June 22 and Saturday, July 20).
