DO WE REALLY NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT EVERYONE ?

The Katt Williams-Shannon Sharpe interview conducted on Club Shay-Shay has been a record setting piece of video to say the least.

The video as they say “broke the internet” and has sparked a response from just about anyone who was ever anyone in the entertainment business. As usual, sides have been drawn and families are divided over the now viral video.

Check out these clips of Joe as he mashed  up the crowd with a barrage of his biggest radio  hits during a recent stop in Cleveland.

His stage show was an old school block party where they played all of your favorite jams, one after another. He hit ‘em up hard- unleashing his smoother than butter vocals at just the right tone and at just the right time. As usual, the ladies melted each time that he slid into another tasty track.

Joe came to pull yo girl and did it. The evenings performance was top notch and well worth the cost of admission.

Tamia closed out the show with a set that almost put the building to sleep. It was going to be a Herculean task in the first place to follow Joe’s explosive outing, but, according to the marquee, she is billed as the star.

She opened with 4-5 really slow paced songs that completely let the air out of the building…and the evening.

She did eventually bring the audience back from darn near flatlining by hitting them with a few of her more upbeat radio hits. The people responded and they sang along with her until shows end.

In reality it would have been much better to have had Tamia open and then to turn Joe loose on them. Still, the night was full of wine, food and plenty of songs from two world class musical acts.

Many have heard stories of the famed Tuskegee Airmen through movies, documentaries, and word of mouth.  What many may not know is that Greater Cleveland is home to more than 100 Documented Original Tuskegee Airmen and women (DOTA”S), the group of African American military pilots and supporting staff who served in World War II.

 

Before the Tuskegee Airmen, African Americans were being denied entry into the US Army Air Force and its pilot training programs due to the Jim Crow Laws and a series of racist laws that enforced the “separate but equal” treatment of African Americans.  This group served bravely and with distinction in every aspect of WWII, while simultaneously struggling for their own civil rights in this country.

 

Cleveland’s North Coast Chapter Tuskegee Airmen (NCCTA) is seeking to recognize Greater Cleveland’s own Tuskegee Airmen like other cities have done. For example:

Pittsburgh has a permanent tribute at their International Airport and Sawicki, Pennsylvania has a memorial garden dedicated to the Tuskegee Airmen

• Steubenville has a painted mural of two brothers that were pilots who hailed from the city

• The City of Detroit has bronze statues

• The City of Oberlin has a permanent plaque in their city park honoring nine airmen who hail from their city

 

NCCTA Cleveland’s Heroes Project, with the help of sponsors, hope to address the void in Cleveland with a mural and a bronze statue of, Cleveland native, Benjamin O. Davis Jr., General and Commander of the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II.  He was the first African-American promoted to General in the United States Air Force in 1954.

 

This tribute project will acknowledge the many contributions and sacrifices made by Cleveland’s Tuskegee

UyAirmen so that their many accomplishments will not be lost to history.
