According to NationalToday.com;

“…. In June 1979, POTUS39, Jimmy Cater designated the month of June as BlackMusicMonth.

June is set aside to raise consciousness, and, appreciate the contributions of BLACK musicians, composers, singers, and songwriters in American culture. The month honors the history and rich African traditions that gave birth to different styles of music such as Barbershop, Blues, Country, Doo-Wop, Funk, HipHop, Jazz, Rap, R&B, Rock & Roll, and, Swing.

It is also the month to celebrate creative inspiration and appreciate the impact that African-American Music has had on generations of performers and music lovers.

From tales of slavery and racism and fighting for their basic human rights to finding their heritage and values in their lyrics, Black Music covers a vast range of topics that have great significance for this community. Over the years, we have seen Black musicians reach great heights, not only on official music record charts but also
at entertainment award ceremonies. 

President Carter made the declaration, BUT; it wasn’t until 2000 when the POTUS Proclamation for the month was signed.

In 2009, POTUS44 President Barack Hussein Obama, II,  went on to rename the month from Black Music Month to its current name, African-American Music Appreciation Month.”

Happy Black Music Month Appreciation Month 2026, and,  Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler,  Y’all!!!
