CLEVELAND – The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame opens Black History Month by honoring black musicians and artists with virtual and in-person events that are open to the public.
The museum, which is also currently showing an exhibition titled “It Was Always Said: Voices of Anger, Hope and Empowerment,” will host several online events throughout the month.
On Wednesday, the museum said the programs “will highlight stories, provide opportunities for dialogue, and reflect on the contributions and legacies of African American artists.”
