June is African American Music Appreciation Month

June is not only my BIRTHDAY month BUT it is also African American Music Appreciation Month!

The celebration of African American music was created by President Jimmy Carter in 1979.

Originally known as National Black Music Month, to celebrate African Americans contributions to music.
