GDW EVENT ALERT - PART 1

By Gloria Dulan-Wilson



Hello All:

Black History Month is upon us - and there are so many things going on, I'm not even going to try to list everything - it would be encyclopedic if I did.  So these are the highlights of upcoming events and programs that should be of interest and importance to us all. 

CELEBRATING THE BIRTHDAYS OF 


Langston Hughes!
"Let the rain kiss you. 
 
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. 
 
Let the rain sing you a lullaby." - 
 
Happy 115th Birthday fellow LU Alum, 
 
and member of Beta Chapter, Omega Psi Phi Fraterninty, Inc. 
 


FREDERICK DOUGLASS

BORN FEBRUARY 14, 1818 - DIED FEBRUARY 20, 1895

Frederick Douglass
Orator/ACTIVIST/LEADER/ABOLITIONIST
Frederick Douglass was an African-American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman. Wikipedia

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress.
It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.

THE CENTER FOR ARTS & CULTURE AT RESTORATION ANNOUNCES RARE AFRICAN ART EXHIBIT
BROOKLYN IS AFRICA
A BOROUGH OF INCLUSION; A CONTINENT OF INVENTION

 The African Artifacts Collection of Eric Edwards, the Founder and Executive Director of the Cultural Museum of African Art
  
                                                                       To Celebrate 
 

                     The 50th Year Anniversary of Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation   

                                                                         at the 

                                       Skylight Gallery, 1368 Fulton Street, 3rd floor, Brooklyn

                                              | February 10 – April 28, 2017 | Tue – Sat, 1 – 6 PM

“The story of Eric Edward’s collection is, in many ways, the story of Restoration,” stated Dr. Indira Etwaroo, Executive Director, The Center for Arts & Culture at Restoration. “This is a man who has devoted his life to cherishing and preserving that which symbolizes the most precious, beautiful and human aspects of who we are as a people and presents that to the world.” 

The exhibit will present pieces as diverse as a royal woman’s head carved out of stone dating back 4,000 years, to Terra Cottas of the Nok Dynasty (Niger), to a carved wooden royal coffin, to Ibo Ceremonial Dance Dresses. The exhibit highlights African art as integral to African life. The universal ethos of African art positions art as a fundamental part of culture: from tools to utensils to dress to musical instruments; art is never created for art’s sake. The 2,500 piece collection has taken Edwards 46 years to amass and represents all 54 countries in Africa with artifacts dating as far back as the Nubian Empire.

 , I am a #BlackCEO and chances are if you are reading this you are also a #BlackCEO.
What does that truly mean in today's climate? 
It means that you are unique. It means that you are powerful. It means that as a #BlackCEO you must be unapologetic about the cultural distinction that you represent in the market place.
So it's time for a little straight talk.
Being a #BlackCEO is not a straight path to black dollars, black trust, and black business. If you want to do business in today's market, black or white, you must choose excellence. So that brings me to the reason why I am emailing you today.
I am hosting a very special event devoted to the development of the #BlackCEO. This is not some standard event that just anyone can register for by clicking a button and filling out an opt-in form. This is an event only for those who are willing to select excellence.
Are you willing to choose excellence? Great; then meet me at #BlackCEO17 Www.BlackCEO17.com.
I have invited a few of the leading experts from around the country to help lead this business crusade. They are black, brilliant, and undeniably cool. Most importantly, they are committed to your development, to your growth, and to your greatness. The featured content is culturally relevant, innovative, and designed to put you on the bleeding edge of business. 
Forget thinking about do you want to attend. (Of course you do. But that is not the question.) 
  • The question is do you want to excellent?
  • The question is do you want to be the best? 
  • The question is do you want to step into the world of the business titans and take your rightful place? 
If that's you, we have a space set aside just for you.  If not, well, it's not personal. 
#BlackCEO17 is where I'll be on Feb 24th and 25thWww.BlackCEO17.Com    
We have all the time in the world for mediocrity, but excellence demands our attention now!
