Grammys 2021 Children’s Music nominees withdraw from category due to lack of diversity

"We can’t in good conscience benefit from a process that has—both this year and historically—so overlooked women, performers of colors, and most especially Black performers” - Alastair Moock & Friends, the Okee Dokee Brothers, and Dog on Fleas wrote to the Recording Academy asking to rescind their nominations for the 2021 Grammy Award for Best Children’s Music Album. Three of the five nominees say that "it is not an aberration” that all of the 2021 nominees are white and only one nominee is female, Pitchfork reports.
