On May 31st, 2002,
President Bush proclaimed the month of June as Black Music Month. African-American musicians, singers, and
composers contributed immensely to our nation’s history. The purpose of Black Music Month is to pay
tribute to strong musical tradition and to honor the contributions of
African-American music that has shaped our nation and gotten many generations
through the many trials that have affected them. Black music has grown into a diverse
collection of styles that continues to evolve even today. Some of the greats that paved the way for the
artists of today are Mahalia Jackson, Nat King, Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie
Holiday and so many more. Join B.M.M.O.
