Black History Month is here, and what better way to celebrate it than through music. Black music has shaped America. Without it, there would be no blues, no jazz, no rock 'n' roll, no rap, and so on. The hardships and prejudice suffered by African-Americans are portrayed through music, but so are their victories and pride.
In this gallery, we compile a playlist of songs that celebrate several aspects of the African-American experience. Click on and celebrate Black History Month with these great songs!
