CELEBRATING BLACK MUSIC MONTH
African-American Music Appreciation
Month is an annual celebration of African-American music in the United
States. It was initiated as Black Music Month by President Jimmy Carter
who, on
June 7, 1979, decreed that June would be the month of black music.
Since that time former president
BARACK OBAMA, and current president, DONALD TRUMP have both issued
proclamations in honor of Black Music Month.
The legacy of
African-American composers, singers, songwriters, and musicians is an
indelible piece of our Nation's culture. Generations of African
Americans have carried forward the musical traditions of their
forebears, blending old styles with innovative rhythms and sounds. They
have enriched American music and captured the diversity of our Nation.
During African-American Music Appreciation Month, we honor this rich
heritage.
