ABC rebroadcasts the all-star tribute celebrating the unveiling of the opening of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) with a two-hour program of music, dance and the spoken word, “Taking the Stage: African American Music and Stories That Changed America,” airing Wednesday, June 24 (8:00-10:00PM EDT).

The four-level museum, which opened on September 24, 2016, is the only national museum solely dedicated to the documentation of African American life, history, and culture. Influential entertainers who participated in its opening included Christina Aguilera, Alvin Ailey dancers, Patti Austin, Angela Bassett, Jon Batiste, Mary J. Blige, Shirley Caesar, Dave Chappelle, Chloe x Halle, Chuck D., Gary Clark Jr., Common, Cynthia Erivo, Fantasia, Jamie Foxx, Doug E.

Jackson, Quincy Jones, Rashida Jones, Elijah Kelley, Gladys Knight, John Legend, Mary Mary, Donnie McClurkin, Janelle Monae, Ne-Yo, Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith, Octavia Spencer, Chris Tucker, Usher, Jesse Williams, Oprah Winfrey and Stevie Wonder.

World-renowned dignitaries, athletes and artists from around the globe came together for the program at Washington’s John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Designed to explore and celebrate African American contributions to the global landscape, the program featured film footage of iconic items from the museum’s collections – items ranging from a plane used to train the famed Tuskegee airmen for World War II combat duty to a Bible owned by Nat Turner. The film is accompanied by music, dance and dramatic readings by a wide range of stage and screen actors. The executive producers were Don Mischer and Quincy Jones, along with Don Mischer Productions’ Charlie Haykel and Juliane Hare. The production was filmed on Sept. 23, 2016, and originally broadcast on ABC nationwide on Thursday, January 12, 2017.

    The Black Music Special on Wednesday June 24th, 2020
    seemed current, like it was assembled overnight. It felt rudderless and messy. The biggest mistake for me was the “ex-clusive ness” of the talent on stage,as opposed to an in”-clusive ness.” For a white person, it would have been considerate to offer a caption of the folks participating on stage. Don’t you care about educating other races to your culture? I recognized Stevie Wonder and Oprah and John Legend. I knew the “Wade in the Water” segment from the Judith & Dudley days. Anybody else know the name of their mentor? This omission upset me so much, I could not sit through this cacophany again.
