Celebrating Juneteenth Through Music
In honor of Juneteenth and Black Music Month in June, enjoy these recommendations for celebration and reflection by Eric Melley, DMA, an associate professor of music. He teaches Jazz History, a course that is cross-listed with music as well as Black studies. “All of these selections exemplify an important through-line of Black American music: the powerful demonstration of sorrow or discontent, while simultaneously expressing hope for better days,” he said.
