Music has historically been a vehicle of expression for artists and fans to express rage against the world’s injustices, allowing the oppressed to be heard on a global scale.
Join the SAG-AFTRA President's Task Force on Education, Outreach & Engagement in partnership with the Recording Academy as we recognize Black Music Month. We'll spotlight the ways in which performers use their voices and their platforms for activism, bringing attention to injustices and social causes that matter with the hope of establishing freedom for all.
