Philadelphia, PA 19107


The Historical Society of Pennsylvania Presents: Black Music as History with Dyana Williams

Join legendary radio host, journalist, and cultural advocate Dyana Williams for a conversation on the power of Black music as a vessel for history, memory, and identity. As a cofounder of Black Music Month and a tireless champion for artists’ rights and cultural preservation, Williams brings a unique perspective to the intersection of music and activism. She will trace the origins of Black Music Month, highlight the role of music in preserving African American stories across generations, and reflect on the responsibility and urgency of archiving these cultural expressions. This program will explore how music not only entertains but also bears witness—amplifying resistance, joy, and community across time.

This event is offered in a hybrid format, with both on-site and virtual tickets available. All ticket reservations will include a Zoom link, but only on-site tickets will be honored at the door.
On-site tickets include admission to the talk and the exhibit Voices of the Community: Local Black Preservation. Doors open at 6 p.m. to allow viewing of the exhibit.

Complimentary tickets will be offered to current secondary, undergraduate, and graduate students. Please email us at programs@hsp.org and tell us where you are enrolled and in what program.
