The Black Rock Coalition, now in its 40th year, is a nonprofit, member-supported, grass-roots organization founded to facilitate the maximum development, exposure and acceptance of Black alternative music and its creators.
Founded in 1985 by guitarist Vernon Reid, journalist Greg Tate and producer Konda Mason in reaction to the constrictions that the commercial music industry places on Black “otherness,” the BRC is a collective of artists, writers, producers, activists and music fans assembled to maximize exposure and provide communal support for Black artists who defy convention and change cultural landscapes as a result.
