#BlackCultureMatters

In 2020, the Kennedy Center launches #BlackCultureMatters to name our understanding that the richness of Black Culture is inextricably bound and woven into the tapestry of American culture. And that it also plays a vital role within an ongoing need to sustain the Black community at large. We more intentionally connect Black performances on our digital and proscenium stages to partnerships with community sustaining visionaries and unsung heroes in the Black community.

Through #BlackCultureMatters, we co-design programs and provide workshop space at the REACH for organizations and creatives that address the following four areas as a central component of their anti-racist work:

Wealth

Beauty (including culture, health, humanity, joy, and self-concept)

Law

Housing

#BlackCultureMatters signals the Kennedy Center’s movement from robust, but disparate programming that centers Black artists, to more cohesive strategies that use art as a starting place to generate attention and resources for Black audiences and communities nationwide.

but Obama joking about 'Lock up your daughters when The Led Zeppelin come to town' just seemed nuts. i guess he has to be the one to read the speech to the honorees, but it made me wonder if he was a LZ fan.

wish it had been Trump or Biden.
