what is the Black Music and Entertainment Walk of Fame
The BMEWOF honors the pioneers, executives, artists, producers, and cultural visionaries who built the foundation of Black American music — the sound that shaped America and influenced the world.

Honors Dinner & VIP Honoree Recognition: 5:00pm–8:00pm
A Living Legacy
The Walk of Fame is a permanent cultural tribute to those whose work transformed genres, launched movements, and opened doors for generations that followed.
From boardrooms to studios.
From radio waves to international stages.
From Atlanta to the world.
Each honoree represents a chapter in a story still being written.
Why It Matters
Atlanta stands as one of the most influential music cities on the planet. But that influence didn’t happen overnight. It was built through risk, vision, and relentless innovation.
The Walk of Fame ensures that the names behind the movement are permanently recognized — not just celebrated in passing, but embedded into our history.
Every renaissance has its names. This is where we make sure Black music’s names are never forgotten.
