A BLACK HISTORY STORY EXCHANGE

Members of the SoundExchange community are posting videos recognizing the historic contributions of Black heroes.

The Black History Month project started last week with Columbia Records Head of Urban Music Phylicia Fant, who spoke about the contributions of Cicely Tyson. This week, MC Lyte discusses Harriet Tubman.

Upcoming clips include Tiffany Haddish's reflections on Maggie L. Walker, the first Black woman to charter a bank in the U.S. and serve as its president, Eric Roberson's remembrance of Shirley Chisholm and Add-2's thoughts on Stevie Wonder.
