June 2025 would be officially named 'Black Music Month' by the Senate. This resolution would also formally recognize the major contributions Black people have made to American music and highlight the need for Black students to get better access to music education in schools. This means the Senate would publicly honor Black musical heritage and support better learning opportunities.
Today, Black Music Month was established by private groups, and studies show that 49 percent of students in predominately African-American schools do not participate in school music programs. If this resolution passes, the Senate would formally recognize the deep contributions of Black people to U.S. music and officially designate June 2025 as 'Black Music Month'. It would also formally acknowledge the critical need for Black students to have more access to culturally relevant music programs in schools.
