The Black Excellence Music Project is an educational website dedicated to black artists who have made significant contributions to the arts. It is important that we as a society, recognize the issue of lack of diversity in the arts and begin to take the steps to create better representation.
Browse through the artists profiles to learn about these important musical figures from the past and present. Test your knowledge with one of our quizzes. Explore what life would have been like for an emerging black pianist in 1930's America.
