Editorial: Black History Month
Living in Birmingham offers us many inspiring examples of individuals and actions that have shaped Civil Rights not just for our city but for the entire nation.
What might surprise you is the numerous musicians and songwriters from Alabama who have played a part in fostering unity and equality.
During Black History Month, 米兰体育 13 highlights Black Alabamians who've influenced the music we cherish鈥攕uch as rhythm and blues singer-songwriter Big Mama Thornton, the first to record "Hound Dog," and Bishop Jim Lowe, who promotes jazz as a unifier.
Join us on-air and online at 6:30 p.m. CST on Thursday, Feb. 20, for our special programming, "Project Community: Unsung Heroes of Black History."
Celebrate the contributions of Black Alabamians whose legacies continue to inspire and guide us toward justice, equity, and opportunity.
Happy Black History Month!
Throughout Black History Month, 米兰体育 13 is recognizing Alabamians who broke barriers and raised the bar for everyone. Stay with us as we honor and celebrate "Black History Moments."
