THE MINI-GLOBE SHOWCASE REUNION 2009

Calling all Mini-Globe Basketball handlers, Mini-Globe Steppers, and Mini-Globette Cheerleaders!!! In 2001 we celebrated the legacy of our founder Mrs. Mary "Love" Harvey and now we want to continue the tradition by meeting annually. We need your help in locating folks from the 70's, 80's and 90's to make this one of the greatest reunions ever. We would like for the event to take place every July and if possible have performers too. I know you're out there, so hit us up at info@BrothaAshProductions.com and place "Mini-Globe Reunion" in the subject line. Leave us your name, contact phone and email and we will get back to you A.S.A.P. In the meantime, stroll back down memory lane with Brotha Ash by checking out old photos from "The Mini-Globe Showcase" RIGHT HERE.


A REQUEST FROM BROTHA ASH
CAN WE ALL JUST GET ALONG IN 2009?

I usually don't get caught up in New Year's resolutions, but I do want to share what my goal is for 2009. I would like for us as a black race to come together to be strong, black and proud of who we are. That is only possible if we come together. Is it possible for us as a black race to pull together, bury the past, work together, and just get along - YES IT IS!!! If we come together and stop hatin on each other, stop killing each other, stop talking about each other (well, that may be asking for too much), and most important stop being "CRABS IN A BARREL", we can achieve anything as long as we do it TOGETHER. Brotha Ash Productions is taking a stand and putting it out there for all of our beautiful black people to make the effort in 2009 to make this happen. We will continue to do our part by sharing our rich heritage and being there for the African American community to the fullest, but we are reaching out to you, (the community and other black organizations) to let you know that we want and need your help. It is possible and it is a reality. We are stronger together than apart.

If you have any ideas on our we can make this happen, please send it to BlackUnity@BrothaAshProductions.com because we want to make a difference in our communities. We will post your comments for everyone to see. For those of you who are caught up in haters being against you, remember what God has for you, no MAN or WOMAN can take from you. Help us bring our race BLACK TOGETHER one person at a time.


DO YOU KNOW MAJOR TAYLOR?

In the late 1890's bicycle races drew crowds that filled Madison Square Garden; the biggest draw of all was Marshall W. "Major" Taylor. Having become the undisputed black champion of America. Taylor overcame racial segregation and intolerance to become to one-mile sprint world champion in 1898, and by the end of 1899 held seven world cycling records!

Why is this important? The University of Pittsburgh's Center for Minority health and Adventure Cycling Association share the goal of encouraging people from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds, including African Americans, to explore the landscapes and history of America by bicycle. That is why these two organizations are committed to creating an Underground Railroad Bicycle Route. Throughout history black people have used bicycles as a mode of transportation. Both Major Taylor and the Underground Railroad represent the struggle to freedom from slavery and the challenge to elimate racial and ethnic health disparities. Visit the Center for Minority Health @ www.cmh.pitt.edu or call 412-624-5665.
