In Praise of Black Creators

Imagine. Before there was Black History Month, there was Negro History Week, founded in 1926 by the scholar and historian Carter G. Woodson. Just one week to acknowledge, learn, and celebrate a history of people, their struggles, talents, and wins. And then, poof! It was all over. A rich and powerful history put back on the shelf until the next year. In 1976, Negro History Week became Black History Month. At Audible, we are proud celebrants of Black creators and their stories and histories all year long, and you’re invited, 365. Black creators take us places where we need to get to with stories, both real and imagined, that come from the heart. And we proudly invite you to enjoy their spoken words with us, today and every day. —Yvonne Durant, Audible Editor
