We’re almost at the end of Black Music Month! In 1979, Jimmy Carter, at the urging of music producer Kenny Gamble and broadcasters Ed Wright and Dyana Williams, declared June Black Music Month. They wanted the world to acknowledge the serious influence of Black musicians, not just in the realm of “entertainment” but in business.
In 2016, President Barack Obama renamed the month African American Music Appreciation Month, stating, “I call upon public officials, educators, and all the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate activities and programs that raise awareness and foster appreciation of music which is composed, arranged, and performed by African Americans.”
