It's that time again! What time is it?
Black Music Month, Juneteenth, Election and Endorsement Time!
It may seem like every day is the time to celebrate the contributions of African Americans - musically and culturally. This month we do both as we celebrate Black Music Month and Juneteenth.
In addition to our profiles on local artists Michael C and 13-year-old Latina sensation
R
aquel Garcia
, topping off the charts in the music world is
Jon Platt,
who recently became the new chairman and CEO of the top music-publishing company in the world.
Ruby Jones
shares his story that began in the heart of Montbello and how he still calls it home. Well known Denver attorney Mike Sawaya talks with Purnell Steen on the importance of keeping music and arts in the schools for children of color and what we should do.
It's also time to look back - in order to move forward. Ruby Jones talks with Norman Harris about this years' Juneteenth Music Festival, how this annual event came about and who will grace the streets of the Five Points community to celebrate this important piece of history. Tyrone Holt Russell displays his views on "The Price of Electing A Black President" and The Rise of Obama as our final segment of "Our 400 Year Sojourn: 1619-2019" five-part series comes to a close.
"Before the nation had the Obamas, Colorado had the Webbs" looks at the colorful and inspirational stories of the Honorable Wellington E. and Wilma J. Webb and how the former First Lady is pursuing her dream to keep the rich history of her husband alive and in the forefront of the Denver community.
Lastly and certainly not least - it is time to VOTE! If you have not gotten your ballots in, by the time this publication hits the stands your time is very limited.
And needless to say, African Americans fought and died for this right to vote and unfortunately, with politics today, locally and nationally, African Americans are still fighting. Not for the right to vote but for WHO to vote for. We can do better!
Get your ballots in, do the right thing and make the right choice - for your ancestors and for your future!
