Another year, another Black History Month coming to a close. For the past 28 days,
The Root has been celebrating Black Joy and how that looks whether it’s through art, family, food or music. Panama Jackson, senior editor of Very Smart Brothas, has brought us all the joy through the most iconic and Blackest album covers of our time.
