A resolution recognizing the contributions of Black people to the musical heritage of the United States and the need for greater access to music education for Black students and designating June 2025 as "Black Music Month".

This is a Senate resolution (S. Res. 273) introduced in the 119th Congress that recognizes the substantial contributions of Black people to the United States’ musical heritage and calls for greater access to music education for Black students. It designates June 2025 as “Black Music Month.” The resolution is largely symbolic: it acknowledges historical achievements across multiple genres, cites studies showing disparities in access to music education, and urges efforts to provide culturally relevant music programs in schools. It references the National Museum of African-American Music as the official home of Black Music Month and notes the longstanding origin of Black Music Month in 1979. As a resolution, it expresses the sense of the Senate but does not by itself create enforceable policy or funding.
