The program will feature book previews, live readings, outreach programs for victims of domestic violence, teens with personal issues, and people with HIV/AIDS. This invitation is for you and anyone that you think will bring the Gift of Knowledge to the event. Share it with your network too!
Written interviews for the Black Pearls Magazine can be obtained by contacting me at: edc_dg@yahoo.com with your interest. Email me if you need more information or would like to become a sponsor for the event at: edc_dg@yahoo.com.
Our theme is "Give the Gift of Knowledge." We seek to bring together our modern day Griots to share with us the history of our people and to lead us into the future. Are you ready? Do you want to help us prepare an archive of African American legacies for your children?
This is an open, community forum for all races and cultures. We will help create the very foundations of change by exercising unity and generosity. Please share this email with your network too!
Forgive me if this is a duplicate email. My intentions are good and I do apologize. If you are not an author or business owner, please share this email with others. Pass this on to your network. Join us in Celebrating Black History 365 days a year!
