Hello All:
Well, it's official - August was the fastest, most event filled month ever thus far. But September promises to give it a lot of competition. And if I hadn't been forced to sit out the last two weeks because of a procedure to cure my ailing left knee, I probably would have been right out there with you. But I'm sitting here, with her (my knee of course) propped up on a pillow, giving her the rest, care, pampering and ice packs she so richly deserves.
In the meantime, I continue to receive information, invitations, notifications of all that's going on in our wonderful, crazy mixed universe. It needs to be shared - so that you can get out there and take advantage of the fun, info, camaraderie that we generate. So, here we go!

THE WEST INDIAN CARNIVAL AND FESTIVAL - WEST INDIAN DAY PARADE - BROOKLYN, NY
THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT LABOR DAY WEEK END MEANS IN BROOKLYN ARE THOSE WHO ARE CURRENTLY FROM A DIFFERENT PLANET, OR WHO LIVE UNDER A ROCK!!! THE REST OF US KNOW THAT FROM TOMORROW - THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, THROUGH MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5 - IT'S PARTY NONSTOP!!! AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU WERE BLESSED TO BE BORN IN THE CARIBBEAN, OR FORTUNATE TO LIVE NEXT DOOR TO SOMEONE WHO WAS, THERE'S SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY!!

IF YOU DON'T LOVE THIS PARADE, YOU HAVE NO SOUL, AND I'M SERIOUSLY QUESTIONING YOUR AFRICAN HERITAGE!!

BUDWEISER MADE IN AMERICA FEATURES RIHANNA
"Budweiser invests
in fan experiences at music festivals because they have become more
than just places to hear live music -- they are cultural moments where
people expect to also experience their other passion points, like food,
design, technology, and of course, ice cold Buds,” said Ricardo Marques,
vice president on Budweiser in a statement to Billboard.
“Budweiser Made in America will cap off an enormous season
for Budweiser, during which we celebrated the most American summer of
this generation. Returning to historical Philadelphia this Labor Day
weekend will be the perfect send-off party.”
The
festival's Rocky, Liberty and Tidal stages will be live streamed
entirely on Tidal. The show will benefit United Ways in Greater
Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey and Berks County, PA for
educational and health initiatives. Beyonce and The Weekend served as last year's M.I.A. Fest headliners.

Opening Reception for Moe Brooker: Shorthand For The Real
View this email in your browser
Moe Brooker, artist and former professor of art at Parsons School of Design, PAFA, Cleveland Institute of Art and Moore College of Art and Design, wanted to paint the joyous and the spiritual aspects of African American life but felt figurative painting did not provide the symbols. Thus his successful move to abstraction. Influenced by both graffiti and music, particularly jazz, both improvisational art forms where options are chosen in the moment, where spontaneity is instantaneous and the music conjures colors. Come witness the vibrancy and energy contained in these masterworks.

From the celebrated author of The Secret Life of Bees, a #1 New York Times bestselling novel about two unforgettable American women.
Hetty "Handful" Grimke, an urban slave in early nineteenth century Charleston, yearns for life beyond the suffocating walls that enclose her within the wealthy Grimke household. The Grimke's daughter, Sarah, has known from an early age she is meant to do something large in the world, but she is hemmed in by the limits imposed on women..This exquisitely written novel is a triumph of storytelling that looks with unswerving eyes at a devastating wound in American history, through women whose struggles for liberation, empowerment, and expression will leave no reader unmoved.Next Date: Thursday September 22, 2016, 2016 at 5:45Location: Double Tree Standng O at Broad & LocustSeptember 22: The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk KiddDecember 1: My Beloved World by Sonia SotomayorEmail jlwviz@comcast.net for more information.

46th ANNUAL LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS WEEKEND
The CBCF Annual Legislative Conference (ALC) is the leading policy conference on issues impacting African Americans and the global black community. Thought leaders, legislators and concerned citizens engage on economic development, civil and social justice, public health and education issues. More than 9,000 people attend 70 public policy forums and much more. Join subject experts, industry leaders, elected officials and citizen activists to explore today’s issues from an African-American perspective.
This marks my 31st year of covering the Congressional Black Caucus - and it is an honor and a privilege to be among so many Black people dedicated to and focused on the future of Black people here in America, Africa and across the Diaspora.
Black educators would do well to organize field trips for their students so that they can see - first hand - their legislators and how much they really do work for our interests, despite the overlay of a repuglycon based rapacious congress.
