"Our nation has an indelible soundtrack, songs that have become anthems recognized across the world," Harris said to HuffPost. "Much of that soundtrack is inspired and informed by the vast contributions of African-American artists in jazz, R&B, rap, hip-hop, and beyond."

"No matter where you are from or what you look like, music is a bond that can bring us all together," she added. "To celebrate African-American music is to dance, sing, and even march to the rhythms that have long served as vehicles for honesty, inspiration, struggle, success, and joy."
