This month as we celebrate the worldwide contributions of Black Americans and those of African descent, Race Forward and Americans For The Arts launched a national annual “Cultural Week of Action on Race and Democracy”, scheduled to take place in September of this year. This initiative aims to broaden awareness of and engagement in democracy and racial equity through cultural experiences across the entire country.

Arts and Culture have played a significant role in how we, as Americans, view the world and see ourselves within it. Black artists and culture bearers have produced some of the most profound bodies of work in this area, particularly during the Harlem Renaissance, the Civil Rights Movement, and Black Liberation movements during the 1970s and 1980s.

On this episode of Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast, Ralph Remington, Director of Cultural Affairs at the San Francisco Arts Commission, essayist, playwright, screenwriter, and champion for racial equity in the arts, who presented the keynote address for the City of San Francisco’s Black History Month celebration on being African Americans and the Arts, speaks to Rachel DeCruz, project director for the Cultural Week Of Action about his decades long leadership in the arts and culture sector, pushing the envelope on culture and stories to continue moving the work of racial justice forward to build and sustain a multiracial democracy.
