Black Music Month Fun Run

On June 7, 1979, President Jimmy Carter proclaimed the month of June to be Black Music Month. The idea was originally inspired in 1978 by record mogul (and co-founder of Philadelphia International Records) Kenny Gamble and Ed Wright, a broadcast executive from Cincinnati, Ohio. But little has been known to many Americans that such month-long celebration even existed. However, for the past 32 years, U. S. Presidents - from Jimmy Carter to Barack Obama - have issued proclamations and held celebrations at the White House in honor of Black Music Month. All across the country and around the world, we acknowledge the legacy of African-American music makers and artists, and we embrace their infinite spirit while celebrating artists of today who are a continuum of the historic journey. For each year of his term, President Barack Obama has announced the observance, under the new title, African-American Music Appreciation Month.
