Home Rule Mag.Zine is a digital and print publication dedicated to preserving and celebrating Washington, D.C.'s rich music, film, and cultural heritage.  Drawing inspiration from Jimmy Gray’s Black Fire Magazine of the 1970s, our mission is to uplift historically marginalized artistic voices and connect communities through storytelling.

​

Issue 005 inspires “A Cosmic Celebration of D.C. Music, Culture, and Community,” featuring articles on the interstellar stars of the Sun Ra Arkestra and highlighting their influence and impact in Chocolate City. We also cover the importance of June Tyson and the women of the Sun Ra Arkestra, who contributed to the group’s otherworldly sound. We check back in with D.C.’s Go-Go Museum’s first anniversary, explore the New York City Loft Jazz Scene of the 1960s and 70s as remembered by jazz pioneer Plunky Branch, as well as review a selection of the best D.C. projects across genres released this past year (‘25-’26).

The Home Rule Mag.Zine is proud to continue highlighting the relics of black music’s past in Chocolate City while spotlighting the voices that carry forward these treasures and continue shaping our community.​​​​
