The Black Music & Entertainment Walk of Fame is located in Atlanta, Georgia, and was inaugurated in January 2021.[1] The goal of the monument is to honor African Americans, and Black people internationally, for their achievements in entertainment.[2] The Walk of Fame is located in the historic Downtown Atlanta area, on the sidewalks of Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive and Northside Drive.[3]

Quincy Jones, Otis Redding, and James Brown were among the first to be honored, as "Foundational Inductees", and were inducted in June 2021.[4] There are seven categories for induction; there are separate male and female categories in both hip-hop and mainstream (the Walk of Fame uses the term "mainstream" to differentiate R&B from hip-hop). While there’s one combined male/female category for legacy artists, gospel and music & entertainment moguls.[5] Thirty-five performers were nominated for the inaugural ceremony.[6] The ceremony was set for June 17, 2021. Other inaugural inductees include Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Usher, Missy Elliott and Outkast.[7]
