Black Music Action Coalition ‘Report Card’ Takes Music Industry to Task Over Diversity
Written by Site Hub on June 22, 2021
About a year ago, the nation paused during “Blackout Tuesday,” a protest organized by the music industry to acknowledge racism and police brutality. After about a year, the music industry is still not where they should be.
Variety reported:
“According to both last week’s USC-Annenberg ‘Inclusion in the Music Business’ study and a ‘report card’ released over the weekend by the Black Music Action Coalition — a 200-plus-member organization formed around this time last year — it’s doing fair-to-badly.”
The BMAC report took a look at multiple industries within the music world to see how they were living up to their promise in elevating black employees and donating to racial justice initiatives. This report graded individual companies, giving much of the industry B’s and C’s.
