With Black Music Month in full effect this year, African American artists are looking for ways to stay active, motivated, and committed on the fight for social change within their communities in light of the recent deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Adbery and more.
Spurred by the callous disregard for Black lives, artists are hoping to use their platforms as microphones to invoke reform in both the short and long term.
Every Friday of this month, we will have an artist speak on today's climate, offer their suggestions for revision going forward, and why being Black continues to be a gift more than a curse.
