Presents
The Last Lecture
What would you
say if you only had one last chance to say it?
There is a
tradition, at many universities, for professors to participate in a
"last lecture series." They are challenged to speak as if
they knew they were about to die. Throughout the Bible there were also
leaders chosen by God who each gave their final message, filled with
deep wisdom, personal reflections and even prophecies.
�
This fall NewSong LA has invited gifted speakers from a variety of
backgrounds to give their "Last Lecture." Don't miss this
opportunity to celebrate what matters most in life.
Join us each
Sunday in September
at

foresaw a "clear, honest, hard-hitting
program" in which young North Americans would work
at the grassroots level with young Africans. He
envisioned young people "building bridges of
friendship to Africa," and his extraordinary vision
was embodied in Operation Crossroads Africa. The

Marcus
Garvey: Why Exoneration Matters
H.
CON. RES. 24: Expressing the Sense of the Congress that the President
should grant a Pardon to Marcus Mosiah...
Declares that Marcus Mosiah Garvey (founder of the National Negro
Improvement Association): (1) was innocent of the charges brought
against him by the U.S. government; and (2) should be recognized
internationally as a leader and thinker in the struggle for human rights
and dignity. Calls upon the President to endeavor to restore Garvey's
honor and good name by granting him a full posthumous pardon that
proclaims his conviction to have been unjust and affirms his innocence.
See
You!

Groove Arts Collective and Art Whino present a special art event:
Block Party 2.0
(The BP experience definition: an art exhibition and hip social
affair)
Art Whino continues to invigorate the DC art world by bringing the
metro area exciting exhibitions that challenge the viewer's ideas of
contemporary art. Art Whino's newest exhibition, "Block
Party," is an exceptional new installation that will also serve as
a reflection on art pricing and buying. Solo artist Daniel Fleres &
10 others participating in this exhibition are set to display hundreds
of small paintings on wooden blocks. The exhibition will be a large
installation of these little wood pieces varying in depth that are
designed to be displayed singly, in groupings and even as collaboration
pieces. They directly address his dedicated following of young, new
collectors with this installation, challenging the idea that good art
has to be unattainable to be valuable. The exhibition was designed
around the idea that art should be accessible to people of all ages and
income levels, & therefore all works in the show will be priced at
the same affordable price. As an installation, the exhibition is
designed to let you, the buyer, participate in the artistic process as a
composer of the forms. Join us at Art Whino on the National Harbor- Thur.,
Sept. 25th 7pm.
For more information about Art Whino and Block Party 2.0 visit www.artwhino.com.
Block Party 2.0 This art experience is a FREE public event.

Dear Friends of ROOT
We are pleased to invite you to participate
in the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's (CBC) 38th Annual
Legislative Conference (ALC). This year's program will take
place in the heart of our Nation's Capitol September 24–27, 2008 at
the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. During a year
of unprecedented political inroads, the Congressional Black Caucus
Foundation will bring together stakeholders from across the country
and open under the theme Embracing the Promise, Realizing the
Vision.
The Annual Legislative Conference is a time for
our community to gather from around the country to present shared
issues, brainstorm resolutions and establish an action plans for the
coming year. During this event constituents have an opportunity
to speak freely and often about their concerns regarding the state of
their communities, to network and build relationships, and to gather
as much information as possible to take back to share within
their communities.
With a focus on creating safe and healthy
communities, we would like to invite you to join ROOT, Inc., Governor
David A Patterson, Congressman Bobby L. Rush, KRS ONE and the Stop the
Violence Movement along with other special guests to
participate in 3 exciting events occurring during the ALC Conference.
Each of the events will focus Gun and Youth violence prevention inside
of our communities. Your presence will help to showcase the commitment
that you or your organization has to addressing these important issues
that are plaguing our communities. With your participation, we can
bring a heighten awareness of the ongoing effects of violence and
enhance multi-generational dialogues on these issues.
During the 2008 ALC Congressional Black
Caucus ROOT, Inc and the Stop the Violence Movement welcome and look
forward to your participation as we host:
ROOT Exhibit Showcase - Thursday, September
25 through Saturday, September 27, 2008 ROOT Inc. will sponsor a
booth at the ALC CBC Exhibit Showcase, promoting awareness about the
"Guns Aside and Stop the Violence" campaigns and Communities
in Action Neighborhood Defense and Opportunity (CAN DO) bill.
There will also be elected officials and celebrities highlighting
their commitment to Gun and Youth Violence prevention.
Anti-Gun Violence Braintrust -Friday,
September 26, 2008, 3:00 to 4:50pm
Congressman Bobby Rush. will host a dual session
Anti-Gun Violence Braintrust at the ALC CBC. The first session of the gun
violence forum will highlight the issues of gun violence which has become
a public health issue which is locally, regionally, and nationally
devastating our communities. The second part of the session will
focus on a mock hearing where diverse stakeholders will have the
opportunity to review the Communities in Action Neighborhood
Defense and Opportunity (CAN DO) bill and address the various
areas for enhancements based on their experiences and expertise.
"Access New York - Saluting Positive
Change in Communities!" Reception, Friday, September 26, 2008
from 7:00p-10:00pm On the Rooftop of The Ellington, located at
1301 U Street, NW Washington, DC., a reception will be held, following
the launch of the Communities in Action Neighborhood Defense and

reception will introduce ROOT, Inc.'s Guns Aside and KRS One's
Stop the Violence campaigns. RSVP to: Carmen Barnes cbarnes@rootinc.org
by Wednesday September 24, 2008
We all understand that gun and youth violence
are issues that plague many of our communities across the
country. The CAN DO bill attempts to change attitudes and behaviors
towards gun violence by bringing together the entire community to
address this issue. The CAN DO bill will allow communities to combat
the issue of gun violence by attacking the ROOT of the
problem with a community-based, comprehensive, cohesive, strategic
approach. The bill calls for a four-pronged attack on gun violence in
our worst crime-infested neighborhoods though (1.) enhanced law
enforcement (2.) mental health and psychological counseling (3.)
employment training and opportunity (4.) educational and recreational
services for at-risk youth.
Please RSVP by Wednesday September 24, 2008
at: www.rootinc.org or
by contacting me at (202) 332-ROOT. If you are unable to
join us for this historic event, please show your support with a
simple response or by requesting to join our National Congressional
Blue Ribbon Task Force.
Thank you for taking the time to consider
the important task we have before us in addressing gun and
youth violence. The sooner we all take a stand against this
devastating epidemic, the sooner we can start to heal our
communities and prevent the unnecessary violence and loss of life that
dominates so many of our communities. I look forward to hearing from
you and to the significant impact your support will bring during
the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's (CBC) 38th Annual
Legislative Conference.
Sincerely,
Kenneth
E. Barnes Sr. MS.
