Did you know that March 1st marks National Black Women in Jazz and the Arts Day? This special day, established by Georgia’s Black Women In Jazz, honors the incredible contributions of Black women in jazz, fine arts, performing arts, and beyond.
NATIONAL BLACK WOMEN IN JAZZ AND THE ARTS DAY TIMELINE
1918 — 1929 The Age of Jazz
Jazz music and dance is born in the U.S. post World War I and the genre gained rapid popularity and was named the Golden Age.
1930s — 1950s One Of The Greatest Jazz Vocalists
Billie Holiday also known as ‘Lady Day,’ was named the first internationally recognized jazz vocalist.
1934 The First Lady Of Song
Ella Fitzgerald was discovered while singing at the Apollo Theater and became the first African-American woman to win a Grammy Award. From Billie Holiday’s soulful storytelling to Ella Fitzgerald’s groundbreaking vocal artistry, Black women have shaped the sounds of jazz and left an everlasting mark on history.
1940 First African-American Academy Award Winner
Hattie McDaniel was the first African-American Academy Award nominee and winner for her portrayal of Mammy in “Gone With The Wind.”
1960s — 1970s The Black Arts Movement
