Hello All:
We are in the final two weeks of BLACK PEOPLE'S MONTH, a/k/a June, and there are so many events popping up all over the place that, as promised, I'm posting them as I receive them.
Since this is a combination of Juneteenth, Black Music Month, Caribbean Heritage Month, Odunde, the celebration of the liberation of 7 African countries - not to mention the fact that to day, June 18th is the birthday of my late (and favorite) uncle, ADOLF DULAN and my grandfather, ENOCH GAINES -
I've got a lot to share.
So here goes - and you might want to have your calendar, your bulletin boards and everything else ready for these because it's nonstop all week, starting today:

IM3Media.com HONORS!!! Bishop Andrew Ford,
Eric Roberson and Joan Myers Brown for
BLACK MUSIC MONTH!!!
June is Black Music Month!! Support Us!!
Celebrating
its ninth year, Isaac M. Hamm III coined Black Music Month’s newest face of
advocacy by mentor and co-founder of Black Music Month Ms. Dyana Williams.
Isaac created The Comeback in 2010, where he had the idea to honor
contributors in black music in Philadelphia for their hard work and dedication
for the culture. With continued success The Comeback now calls Philadelphia,
Atlanta and Nashville home during June's Black Music Month!! Isaac continues to
develop relationships and honors from city officials such
as, several Citations from The City of Philadelphia which includes
two from The Mayor of Philadelphia and a 2016 Proclamation from The City of
Atlanta marking June 16th his day in Atlanta to celebrate Black
Music. Since 2010 Isaac has honored over 35 contributors.
“The Comeback "Philly Style" a critically-acclaimed musical
showcase and awards ceremony is dedicated to preserving the legacies of
Philadelphia’s soul music artists. In addition to its key contributors, this
will be an unforgettable evening, including some of Philadelphia’s own biggest
and brightest stars in black music. This tribute to black music will bring
together both classic and current generations of singers.
