We invite you to join us for a very special evening at a very sacred place. The Black Cotton Foundation will be celebrating the 75th Birthday of Dr. Betty Shabazz as they present their 3rd annual Dr. Betty Bahiyah Shabazz Award. This award is given to a person or family who are a positive light in our community despite suffering as tragic loss or overcoming overwhelming obstacles on their own.

This year's recipients are activist Pam Africa of the Move Movement and Chairperson of the Friends of Mumia Coalition and Civil Rights Movement (and) icon Myrlie Evers-Williams, widow of Medgar Evers, author, and former chairperson of the NAACP. There will also be a special award presented to Jasmina Anema, a 6 year old girl who is suffering from a rare form of leukemia; her courage inspired the entire community by thousands of people coming out to bone marrow drives to save her life.

So join us for an evening of singing, dancing, spoken word, stepping, inspiration, laughs, and tears as we celebrate the life of a great woman, Dr. Betty Shabazz. Best of all, it's free!!! :o)
