In this Feb. 8, 2017 photo shows the view from the farmhouse where abolitionist John Brown launched his ill-fated, 1859 seizure of a federal armory in Dargan, Md. The John Brown plaque and roadside marker 75 miles west of Baltimore don't mention the dazzling array of black entertainers who performed on the same site a century later, during the racially segregated 1950s and early '60s. James Brown, Ray Charles, Etta James, Otis Redding and dozens of others headlined at John Brown's Farm, a stop on the so-called Chitlin' Circuit before white audiences embraced rhythm-and-blues and soul music.
