As part of Billboard's Black History Month celebration, we've asked Black artists spanning all genres to compile their own unique playlists exclusive to Billboard's Spotify account. Each song they've chosen represents their love for the culture across the diaspora -- from childhood favorites to songs that make them feel free.
R&B quintet June’s Diary -- comprised of Ashly Williams, Brienna DeVlugt, Gabrielle "Gabby" Carrerio, Kristal Smith and Shyann Roberts -- each explain in their own words the significance of Black History Month.Black History Month means highlighting our brave ancestral pioneers who have shaped exactly the person I am meant to be in my own skin: remembering why Harriet Tubman risked her life for the freedom of others; recollecting the impact of Martin Luther King Jr.
Black History Month means rejoicing in our resilience, creativity, originality and influence, while upholding the truest form of blackness. It is sharing the uniqueness of every Black person by communicating "We see you," even though you may be overlooked every day. It is our historical freedom to remind the world, we gon’ be all right!Black History Month means a lot to me because as I get older and connected to my roots, I understand that Black history is American history.
It represents the evolution of Black people in America, kind of like a metaphorical gem that emerged from such oppression and injustice. Each hero honored -- Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr. and more -- have paved the way for future generations and fought to make freedom conceivable for their people.
." In other words, when you hear that voice and those lines, stop what you’re doing, grab someone and groove.Nina was a strong, talented civil rights activist who wasn’t afraid to speak and sing out for what was right. We’ve all been down bad and I love the way they flipped the record around. Most down songs are sad, but this one has the energy that makes you want to pick yourself up.This song is about everyone coming together and having a good time around music.
