\nIn celebration of Juneteenth \u2014 marking the freeing of the last enslaved Americans, on June 19, 1865, in Galveston, Texas \u2014 black artists have exercised their creative freedom with new music.
\nAnd with June also being Black Music Month, it reminds us that music has always been an important part of the black experience in America \u2014 from slavery through the civil rights movement to today\u2019s Black Lives Matter mission.
\nFrom never-before-heard Aretha and Alicia Keys to Teyana Taylor, here are six reasons to celebrate black music on Juneteenth.

\nHearing the late Queen of Soul\u2019s voice on Juneteenth definitely brings the holy spirit from the heavens. On a previously unreleased solo version of \u201cNever Gonna Break My Faith\u201d \u2014 which was originally released as a Grammy-winning duet with Mary J. Blige from the 2006 film \u201cBobby\u201d \u2014 Franklin, who died in 2018, gets stirring support from the Boys Choir of Harlem. Just let the chills wash all over you.\n<\/div>\n
