Black Music Month Celebration

Music Moves brings the history of Black music and art into the present.

From the blues and jazz to hip hop and R&B, Black musicians and artists have created styles that have influenced and inspired generations of musicians and artists across the world. Black music and art have also been a vital means of cultural expression and political activism, giving voice to the struggles and triumphs of the Black community.
