From the Gospel Music Channel’s Website:
In June, Gospel Music Channel joined with Senators, Congress, The Gospel Music Association (GMA), and The Recording Academy® to launch Gospel Music Heritage Month. The dual legislation passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate designates September 2008 as “Gospel Music Heritage Month,” honoring a true American art form for its vast contributions to our culture, bringing a message of hope and inspiration to people of all racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds.
Gospel Music Channel, The Recording Academy and the entire Gospel/Christian music industry will celebrate the inaugural Gospel Music Heritage Month across multiple media platforms, concerts and events this September. The greatest names in Gospel Music will be featured on-air, online and on-demand through network premieres, documentaries, original specials and series, short-form and interstitial pieces, music videos and more.
