In celebration of Black History Month, I created a music playlist for us to jam, reflect, and rock out to. The songs included reflect our history, our struggle, our joy, creativity, and most importantly, our brilliance and diversity. In curating this 3 1/2 hour playlist, I was reminded of how much Black people have contributed to music over the years. This is not at all a conclusive list, if there’s such a thing, but hopefully it sets the tone for this month–and the months to come! If you have any songs you feel should be included, comment on this post or connect with me on social media. Let’s vibe out!

Happy Black History Month!

This playlist was brought to you by The Woke Folk.
