Dear People of Africa and Beyond:
In my entire experience, I have never seen this! A patron responding within 1 minute 15 seconds! paid! O my black people, there is hope.....don't count us out! as hopeless dependents, bowl in hand, asking others for help. When we work together and complement efforts, achievement is unstoppable. The money is big...from Dr. Chika Onyeani, Publisher, African Sun Times and Celebrate Africa to cover the lessons to young Africans about Selma and community tours to African American historic sights during black History Month 2015 in the DMV.
In its first of its kind, and community builders across the Continental African community are rising to honor the ideals Martin Luther King Patron and Builder Dinner-Awards-Gala in the Roast and Toast Black History Month on Feb. 28, 2015. We hope your organization can play its part as we hope to depict the diversity of African Arts, Humanities, and People.
Who we are as a nation is a riveting story of the tapestry of America's diversity. As a new and emerging, and fast growing Continental African population (with immigrant background), we are an integral part of America's narrative with our contributions, shared responsibility, trials and triumphs. More importantly, on February 28, 2015, we will salute the advocacy and valor that promote an equitable, inclusive and viable America, which makes it easier for African immigrants to achieve. In deed, we are beneficiaries of the outcomes that others fought for. The Honorees embody the true spirit of sacrifice, duty, conscience and moral courage.
In a rousing tribute, "The history of African Americans is unique and rich, and one that has helped to define what it means to be an American. Arriving on ships on the shores of North America more than 300 years ago, recognized more as possessions than people, African Americans have come to know the freedoms fought for in establishing the United States and gained through the use of our founding principles of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to assembly, and due process of law. The ideals of the Founders became more real and more true for every citizen as African Americans pressed us to realize our full potential as a Nation and to uphold those ideals for all who enter into our borders and embrace the notion that we are all endowed with certain unalienable rights." White House.
The Keynote is Maryland State Senator Jamie Raskin who one of the most influential voices in the state and relationships with the Congress and White House. In measures of self reliance, a coalition of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberian partners will kick off the a unified Ebola Campaign: The Surviving Orphans.
In this mail, there are another information and events on Martin Luther King Service Day that complement the program. Please also find information on socio-economic opportunities, which include cleaning, vending and catering service contracts, low and free use of facilities.
Please, you can share this information with your members and outlets.
We will appreciate the partnership and patronage.
