For Black History Month 2021, Spotify is rolling out a massive slate of new programming aimed at honoring the history and cultural contributions of Black Americans in music, podcasts, and even visual art. As usual, the Black History Is Now hub will be the center of all the relevant programming, with playlists curated by influential Black artists and other public figures, new hip-hop playlists, and a slew of new podcasts from commentators like writer Danyel Smith, reporter Van Lathan, and political analyst Bakari Sellers.
As far as the visual component, Spotify licensed work from Black photographers like Adrian Octavious Walker, Adreinne Waheed, Doug Segars, and Shawn Theodore to cover new playlists such as “Soul Coffee,” “Black Love Mixtape,” “Power to the People,” and “Black History Salute.”
