June is Black Music Appreciation Month, a time to celebrate the artists, innovators, storytellers and truth-tellers whose voices have shaped American culture and expanded our collective imagination.
For generations, Black women artists have documented the stories of their communities through song, preserving histories, emotions, and experiences that might otherwise be forgotten.
Welcome to the season of line dancing where Black Music Month meets Juneteenth meets every backyard cookout from DC to Decatur.
In a testament to her pioneering spirit, Missy Elliott became the first hip-hop artist to have a song sent to space.
