If you’ve been listening in, then you already know that Hot 97.9 is definitely for the culture and is always putting our listeners on to the hottest music, events, and news!
Well, what you might not know is why everyone keeps going to events and making social media posts about Black August.
Well, as always NC’s hottest station and website has you covered!
Black August is a month, outside of the traditional black history month, dedicated to the celebration of black history, while also reflecting on ways to combat injustices African Americans face as a people.
Those participating in the practice of Black August also make an effort to patronize Black-owned businesses and limit media sources that reflect negative images of people of color.
So how can you finish out Black August strong, even if you’re getting a late start?
Well, believe it or not, you’re off to a great start. By reading this article, you’re already educating yourself on the black history that isn’t constantly being watered down in text books and you’re supporting a black owned radio station. But the best way to recognize the month is to stand in the fight for justice and equality for our people!
