As the Crescent City gears up for New Orleans Fashion Week, a new event is on the horizon, set to challenge racial disparities in the fashion industry.

Oliver “OT” Thomas, host of WBOK’s The Good Morning Show, will host the Louisiana Fashion Expo on March 10, 2018 at Watson Memorial Teaching Ministries, located at 4400 St. Charles Ave.

The expo is, in part, in response to the Swedish retailer H&M’s recent controversial ad featuring a Black boy wearing a hoodie that bore the message, “Coolest monkey in the jungle.” The goal, according to event organizer Evangelist Melonie Pichon, is to feature independent fashion designers who desire diversity while valuing African American dollars.

Pichon and her company Single Sister Entertainment plan to feature African American designers both in and out of Louisiana. The event will include a fashion show, vendors and design exhibitions.

“Our goal is to generate revenue for local independent clothing designers and heighten the awareness of the import

On Saturday, March 3^rd, Orange Councilwoman Donna K. Williams will travel to Lancaster, Pennsylvania to participate in a massive grassroots canvassing campaign against National Rifle Association-backed Republican Congressman Lloyd Smucker.

          The effort is being called ‘Lancaster Stands Up’ (LSU). Smucker has received $221, 736 in NRA campaign funds, more campaign funds than anyone else sitting in Congress!

          LSU is seeking to defeat Smucker and replace him with grassroots Democratic candidate Jess King. Democrats from as far away as New York City are mobilized to participate in the major pitch to unseat Smucker. (www.Lancasterstandsup.org)

          “For anyone asking ‘Why are going to Lancaster, Pennsylvania to do this?’ we answer, ‘Why isn’t everyone going’?

          “The time has come for people of goodwill to come together and do all that they can get a handle on this senseless violence,” she said passionately.

The festival seeks to motivate citizens outside of the continent to invest in their country and will take place under the theme Two Cultures, One Foundation.

The Back to Africa Festival is one of the results of the African Diaspora Heritage Trail (ADHT), a UNESCO-associated initiative that brings professionals from various sectors to highlight the contributions of people of African descent across the Caribbean and the Americas. Some of the territories to host the ADHT conference include Bermuda and the Bahamas.

Speaking about the forthcoming festival, Ghana Tourism Authority CEO Akwasi Agyemang said, along with other programmes – a relaunch of the Pan-African Historical Theatre Festival (PANAFEST), which was first held in 1992, Emancipation Day and the Right to Return Festival – the Back to Africa Festival was created to target Ghanaians in the US diaspora, leading to an increase of visitors to the country.

The authorities have said African Americans in attendance will get a chance to

Cynthia Holiday, jazz and blues song stylist, will
host the premiere performance of the 2018 Jazz
in the Sanctuary series. Ms. Holiday’s gifted
vocals and natural inclination for jazz is attributed
to her upbringing in Newark where music filled
her home on any given day. Her stepfather,
trumpeter Calvin Hughes, was a band leader and
performed with such jazz greats as Count Basie,
Frank Foster, Clark Terry and Eddie “Lockjaw”
Davis. Since the release of her debut album, “All
The Way”, on the Miles High Records Label,
Ms. Holiday has made new fans and friends in
the US and internationally. Most recently she
served as judge in the Asian Dreams Jazz Vocal
Competition followed by a performance with the TS Monk Septet in Osaka,
Japan. WBGO Jazz88 FM host Sheila Anderson says: “Cynthia seeks to
continue the tradition of jazz women who sing the blues, a style that has become
a lost art among vocalists. I hear the humor of Helen Humes, the soul of
Ernestine Anderson, the warm timber of Nancy Wilson and the story

The massive militarization of the African continent has occurred under the radar for the casual observer. Even though the United States has over 800 military bases in some 70 countries throughout the globe, Africa is often left out of the conversation by peace, antiwar and progressive activists for a host of reasons. The forum will explore the following:

• How US-sponsored counter-terrorism strategies have been contributing to deaths and disappearances of hundreds of people across the African continent;
• The increased militarization of the African continent and its implications for resistance efforts by local communities and social justice activists in Africa;
• The connection between the militarization of the African continent and Black communities in the United States;
• Reasons why the peace, anti-war and progressive groups have left Africa out of the discussion when challenging US global military footprint;
• Concrete actions that social justice advocates can take to push back on the milita

"CRUEL AND UNUSUAL”
http://mobfilm.com/projects/cruel-and-unusual/   ​

 A feature documentary telling the story of three men who
have spent  longer in solitary  Confinement than any other prisoners
in the US. Innocent of the crimes of which they  are accused, from their
6 foot by 9 foot cells they campaigned for decades to end this Unconstitutional, cruel and unusual punishment. Following our film ‘In the Land of the Free…’ we have been shooting the ongoing story, resulting in a new feature documentary for Channel 4, which is now completed since the release of Albert Woodfox in 2016 after
43 years in solitary confinement.   As far as I am concerned being a native New Yorker I give this film FIVE APPLES Out of 5!
