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 sing you a lullaby." -

FREDERICK DOUGLASS

Died: February 20, 1895, Washington, D.C.

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
The 50th Year Anniversary of Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation
“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.
