These two dates mark a historic time for reflecting on and celebrating the contributions, achievements, and impact of the Black community on music and culture. Juneteenth also coincides with Black Music Month, held during the month of June. The holiday commemorates the start of emancipation for those who had been enslaved in the country.
June 19, or Juneteenth, is Emancipation Day in the U.S.
And now, as we approach Juneteenth and Black Music Month once again, we’re using the holidays as a checkpoint to ensure we are showing up for Black creators and fans year-round. Over the past year, we’ve continued that conversation on- and off-platform through initiatives like Frequency.
Last June, Spotify celebrated Black Music Month, spotlit the protests around George Floyd’s death, and commemorated Juneteenth on-platform by highlighting the musical and cultural contributions of Black creators throughout history.
