Introduction
The Colored Musicians Club of Buffalo, located on Michigan Avenue in Buffalo, New York, was the first permanent union for African American musicians in American history and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006. The building, constructed in 1925, was the center of activity for Buffalo's African American musicians during the golden age of jazz. Legends including Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, and Billie Holiday performed or visited here. The interior preserves the original stage, bar, and decor, with walls covered in historic photographs and signed memorabilia, each telling the story of African American musicians' struggle for equal rights during the segregation era. This is not merely a music venue but an important witness to African American cultural history and the civil rights movement, with irreplaceable value for understanding American music and social history.
