This week I was joined by Professor Silvester Carl Henderson as he prepares to celebrate the "21st Year Gospel Community Celebration Concert". This event will be held on May 2, 2015, in the Los Medanos Recital Hall. The concert time is 7:00 P.M. This concert will focus on "Celebrating and Supporting African American Males.
Dr. Tyrone Howard, acclaim motivational speaker and Professor from University of California, Los Angeles, will serve as the "Motivational Speaker" for this event. He will concentrate on talking to the college and East County community about strategies to improve success for our African American Males.
Additionally,the Los Medanos College Gospel Choir”, has embarked on a mission to Celebrate and Support African American Males through the usage of the Liberal Performing Arts, as an alternative model of education for today's youth, This concepts helps youth pursue career paths that are service-oriented or related to communication and entertainment. It is our belief that one of the effective ways to support children and decrease gang violence, murder, teen pregnacy and other social problems, is to support traditional education through the passion interest point of many students, which is music and entertainment. The mission of the event is to offer assistance to African American Males through Liberal Arts Education.
