Black music has always been the heartbeat of America; from the soulful era of Motown to the artistry of pop star royalty and more than 50 years of hip-hop.

A look at the Black experience on TV through shows like "Good Times," "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," "Living Single," "Scandal," "Insecure," "Pose" and "Abbott Elementary."

The ability of the Black athlete to impress and impact pop culture is unmatched, leaving no doubt as to why the likes of Stephen Curry, Sugar Ray Leonard, Laila Ali and Allyson Felix have been crowned with GOAT status.

Black people have long helped shape American cinema; cinematic giants like Will Packer, cult classics such as "Waiting to Exhale," "Set it Off," "Friday" and even daring films like "Get Out" have found a way to make audiences laugh and think.
