DESCRIPTION:

National Black Music Month, or African-American Music Appreciation Month, is an annual celebration in the United States in June. It aims to recognize and honor the contributions of African-American artists, musicians, and composers to the nation's musical heritage and raise awareness and appreciation for the richness and diversity of African-American music.

National Black Music Month began with songwriter and producer Kenny Gamble, Ed Wright, and Dyana Williams in 1979. President Jimmy Carter officially recognized and declared it on June 7, 1979. Since then, each President has issued a proclamation reaffirming the significance of African-American music and encouraging citizens to participate in various events and activities.

Throughout June, various events, festivals, concerts, workshops, and educational programs are organized across the United States to celebrate the achievements and impact of African-American musicians. The celebration encompasses many musical genres, including gospel, jazz, blues, R&B, hip-hop, and many more.

National Black Music Month serves as an opportunity to learn about the history and influence of African-American music and appreciate the talents and contributions of countless African-American musicians who have shaped and enriched the cultural landscape of the United States and the world.
