In 1979, President Jimmy Carter announced the proclamation of Black Music Month. Also known as House Concurrent Bill 509[6], Black Music Month became African American Music Appreciation Month in 2009 by President Barack Obama.[7] In 2023, President Joseph Biden Jr. returned it to its original name of Black Music Month.[8] Despite the announcement by Carter in 1979, the bill never passed until 2000 when activist Dyana Williams' 10 years of effort persuaded Congress. Williams played an essential role in the creation and solidification of Black Music Month.[6]
History
Slavery is a significant part of Black music’s origin and historical evolution. During the transportation through the Middle Passage, Africans would express emotion and religious beliefs through variations of noises and sounds, creating a communication system. In defiance of colonization trying to dilute and erase African culture, they maintained their stories of culture through the language of songs.[1]
