Black History on Roller Skates

Over 30 of the VERY BEST Black History Month songs – Becks Entertainment

In celebration of Black History Month here is a compilation of uplifting music dating way back till now to celebrate our heritage and the plight. It Starts with one of my favorite songs, The Black National Anthem. Even though “Lift Every Voice” has been done by many it was tough to narrow down to the right version. I love all of the versions! I mixed in some factual and uplifting spoken word, MLK speech and Poetry. My vision for the skater and this mix is to put it on and feel and understand our heritage from the perspective of black artists. If you have on skates then move your body to the rhythm. Hands done, the first song would get ME trying new skate moves. But that’s me because that song makes me happy. Here are other mixes.
