is always great to be a part of history.
First with Obama and now with the grand
opening of the new August Wilson Center

of people came out to be a part of this
event and everyone had a great time. Of
course, Brotha
Ash Productions
was in the building representin for the
community as usual. If
you missed this event, you really missed

reunions ever. We would like for the event to take place every

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

412-624-5665.
