Senate Resolution No. by Senator Barrow designates the month of June as "African-American Music Appreciation Month" in Louisiana, honoring the significant contributions of African-American artists to the state's rich musical heritage and the broader American music landscape. The resolution highlights the historical context of this observance, tracing its origins back to 1979 when President Jimmy Carter declared June as "Black Music Month," and its rebranding by President Barack Obama in 2009 to better reflect the impact of African-American music.

The resolution emphasizes Louisiana's pivotal role in the evolution of various music genres, particularly Hip-Hop, which has roots in the state through influential artists and record labels. It acknowledges the state's unique musical traditions, including jazz, zydeco, and bounce music, and celebrates the achievements of local artists and producers who have shaped the Hip-Hop scene. By recognizing June as a month of appreciation, the resolution aims to honor the legacy of African-American music and its ongoing influence on culture and society.
