Hello All:
One should never ask a question one does not want answered. Two weeks ago I asked whether you were up to the crazy schedule of events that transpired during the first half of April - and now we are here at the 22nd and I have to admit that I myself was just a step away from total exhaustion!!!
I only made half of the events, but by the time Monday the 18th had rolled around, I knew I needed to take a break! One thing they can't say about as a people is that we aren't involved, engaged and active. Leave it to us there would be something happening 365/24/7 - and that was pretty much the case.
I'm in the process of completing the articles on the National Action Network Convention - there was so much going on for Rev. Al Sharpton's 25th Anniversary; and of course Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams' Open House until I almost blew putting together the upcoming event alert - which will be no less impactful.
But first a reminder of a few upcoming events that are totally a must do - regardless of where you are, or who you are:

Don't allow some dissident, or divisive individual or philosophy to deter you from exercising your right and responsibility to vote - something your relatives fought and died for in the 60's, 70's, 80's 90's and even now, cannot be taken lightly or neglected - regardless of who you chose to vote for - you must VOTE!!!
APRIL 28 - 30, 2016
PENN RELAYS WEEK END -
What can I say? My son participated in the Penn Relays when he was a Junior and Senior at A. Phillip Randolph High School in Harlem - there's a soft spot for the Penn Relays in our family. This is a time honored tradition that gets world wide attention every year. Philly will be flooded with wannabe and gonna be track stars from all over the planet - If you've never been, you owe it to yourself to check it out - and the night life and food are also major attractions.
This is the link to the schedule - for more detail "google" Penn Relays 2016:

OKAY! THAT'S IT FOR NOW - MAY IS SHAPING UP TO BE AS PACKED FULL AS APRIL - BUT I'VE LEARNED MY LESSON - "DO, BUT DON'T OVER DO!"
ENJOY!
STAY BLESSED &
