On rare occasions the mainstream press does impressive work on positive stories of Black Men in American. The Washington Post has done something special this week.
The Washington Post is running an interactive series on their website entitled, "Being a Black Man", where they explore the lives of famous and everyday individuals from various backgrounds. It's worth taking a look at.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/metro/interactives/blackmen/blackmen.html
If you live in the New York City area, I suggest you check out this inspiring program coming to NYC's Apollo Theater on May 19th 2007 at 8pm. It is called “The Beyond the Tears Concert."
The Save Africa Concerts Foundation will have entertainment and an awards ceremony to honor Winnie Mandela, Princess, Senator Florence Ita-Giwa, Minister Christine Walker and Prof. Babatunde Osotimehin for their work in AIDS/HIV. The program begins at 8pm. Ticket prices are $35, $50 and $75 can be purchased at Ticket master or at the Apollo box office.
All proceeds will go to help AIDS/HIV victims, prevention and education in Africa.
As a part of this fundraising initiative, we will give “FREE TICKETS” to “the Beyond the Tears Concert” to those who get tested for Hepatitis B at our designated facilities.
