A number of events on Saturday drew families from across the metro area to the Jackson Zoo – from Pocahontas to Pearl – including many who said they couldn’t remember the last time they’d visited. https://ow.ly/oXsG50Z6QBl

🎶✨ JUNE IS BLACK MUSIC MONTH ✨🎶

And then there was 🎶Black music🌅.

The soundtrack of celebration.🎉
The soundtrack of resistance.
The soundtrack of love, joy, healing, faith, culture, and community.

From blues and jazz🎷 to gospel, soul, R&B, hip-hop, Southern Soul, and beyond, Black artists have shaped the sound of generations and continue to influence music around the world.

At We Lit: Turning Up With Purpose, we recognize that music is more than entertainment.

🎤 It's storytelling.
🎧 It's innovation.
🎹 It's collaboration.
🎨 It's art.
🤝🏾 It's community.

This month, we're celebrating the voices, visionaries, musicians, producers, engineers, DJs, songwriters, artists, and culture creators whose work continues to move us, inspire us, and bring us together.

Because every song has a story.
Every genre has a legacy.
And every generation adds its own voice to the conversation.

🎶 Our Music.
📖 Our Stories.
🌍 Our Culture.
✨ Our Power.

Join us all month long as we spotlight music, creativity, collaboration, and the people behind the soundtrack of our lives.
