"Take a Black Male to Worship Day" 76.28.09
The Black Star Project's Million Father Movement is partnering with the most dynamic force in the Black community--the Black church! On Sunday, June 28, 2009, we are asking older men to guide younger men towards spirituality, fatherhood, prosperity and high-quality family living. How can they know, except that some man would guide them? (Acts 8:31 )

We are especially asking fathers, grandfathers, foster fathers, stepfathers, uncles, cousins, big brothers, mentors, deacons, trustees, male choir members, significant male caregivers and family friends to join The Black Star Project in this movement. Women and men of all ethnicities are also encouraged to "Take a Black Male to Worship Day."

Happy Birthday to Cree Summer Francks bka Cree Summer.
My boys know Cree Summer for her voicework in such gems as Elmyra from Pinky and The Brain , Numbah 5 from Code Name Kids Next Door and Cleo from Clifford the Big Red Dog. Us Older Folks all fell in love with her when she got her start in voicework as Penny from Inspector Gadget and finally got to see her pretty face as Freddie in the TV Sitcom A Different World.
Well, she never ceases to amaze me. I found this music video a few weeks ago and cannot get this song out of my head!!
Here is Cree Summer in her music video "Savior Self" produced for the Elevate Films Fest.
I LOVE IT!!
Enjoy!
