Black History Month

Black History Month

February is Black History Month, a tradition that, as NPR reports, “aims to honor the contributions that African Americans have made and to recognize their sacrifices.” “There is no American history without African American history,” says Sara Clarke Kaplan, executive director of the Antiracist Research & Policy Center at American University in Washington, D.C.

During February, The Colorado Sound continues to highlight Black artists, songs, and music history. Listen for special episodes of Music 101, and watch our Music Discovery series for artist spotlights.

In addition, our sister station KUNC has a roundup of Colorado events celebrating Black History Month.
