Black Twitter does it again. This time the social media juggernaut takes a trip down memory lane to explore some of the great album covers in Black music history. Many of the covers harken back to the 1990s and early 2000s, but there are a few gems that go back to the 70s and beyond.
Just like during Thanksgiving, Black Twitter has found a way to lighten up the holidays and bring joy to the end of the year. Media personalities and people from different walks of life came together to reminisce about great music and great art. Here are some of Black Twitter’s greatest Black album covers.
