"If we can put the names of our faiths aside for the moment and look a principles, we will find a common thread running through all the great religious expressions."
I don't think I could've said it any better than that. Louis Farrakhan was seriously on to something when he made that statement. Since announcing that we were doing "I LOVE GOSPEL"...I've wondered if it would only appeal to the Christian audience and on the record I say...THIS IS NOT JUST FOR CHRISTIANS...THIS IS FOR EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF AFRICAN DESCENT.
This celebration is also recognizing JUNETEENTH (www.JUNETEENTH.com). So, it is far more than a Gospel Concert...it is an educational experience.
We do a number of "I LOVE..." shows & in an effort to acknowledge the contributions of SOUL ARTISTS in ALL GENRES...and it was only fitting to combine the JUNETEENTH & I LOVE GOSPEL shows together.
So who should come? EVERYONE!!! This is going to be a Beautiful Day! I am beyond excited about this event & I pray that we see everyone from your Gospel Artists to the dopest Emcees in Atlanta in the building. This is soooooo much bigger than what you might perceive it to be....

JUNETEENTH - I LOVE GOSPEL - CELEBRATION -Fri.6/19 @ APACHE
(Courtesy of www.Juneteenth.com)
Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.
From its Galveston, Texas origin in 1865, the observance of June 19th as the African American Emancipation Day has spread across the United States and beyond.
Today Juneteenth commemorates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement. It is a day, a week, and in some areas a month marked with celebrations, guest speakers, picnics and family gatherings. It is a time for reflection and rejoicing. It is a time for assessment, self-improvement and for planning the future. Its growing popularity signifies a level of maturity and dignity in America long over due. In cities across the country, people of all races, nationalities and religions are joining hands to truthfully acknowledge a period in our history that shaped and continues to influence our society today. Sensitized to the conditions and experiences of others, only then can we make significant and lasting improvements in our society.
We're celebrating w/a Tribute to Gospel Music by some of Atlanta's most talented Vocalists. Please come out & enjoy the music that speaks to our spirit!!!
JUNE is BLACK MUSIC MONTH
Yes, June is BLACK MUSIC MONTH & as a Board Member of the BLACK MUSIC MONTH FOUNDATION I urge ALL of US to CELEBRATE, EDUCATE & PARTICIPATE in the 2009 BLACK MUSIC MONTH activities as this year marks the 30th Anniversary since Pres. Jimmy Carter pronounced June as BMM!
At Apache Cafe, we're hosting SNL-Saturday Nights Live every Saturday to celebrate BLACK MUSIC MONTH.
The first show had RAHBI, Muffy & Blount Harvey. It was AMAZING! That RAHBI...Boy, oh Boy! I know heavens are smiling on him. Muffy was in the building & we had another Incredible set by Blount Harvey (out of Greenville)
