A resolution recognizing the contributions of Black people to the musical heritage of the United States and the need for greater access to music education for Black students and designating June 2026 as "Black Music Month".

This Senate resolution honors the significant contributions of Black people to American musical history and formally designates June 2026 as Black Music Month. The bill highlights the diverse genres created by Black artists, from spirituals and jazz to hip-hop and rock, while acknowledging the obstacles these pioneers overcame to gain recognition. Additionally, the resolution addresses disparities in music education by noting that Black and low-income students often have less access to culturally relevant programs and lower participation rates in school music activities. By recognizing these achievements and educational gaps, the Senate aims to encourage greater inclusion and support for music education among Black students.
