Black History Month Celebration #8 Exploring the History of Black Music. This series will cover those making history and historical Black Figures, events, activities and of course music related if possible. We should remember and not lose what we accomplished. Very proud of my South Orange folks for honoring Black History Month in a big way for 2021. I am a little bit of the history now so cool.

The influence of Black artists and musicians is present everywhere from music to art, culture, film, and television.  This month in honor of Black Music Month, we embarked on a journey to explore how Black music impacted not only key moments in history, but also the artists and songs that we listen to today borrowing from the teachings of our Blues Schoolhouse program.
