CONSULTANCY
The official launch of Birmingham Black History Month 2017 will take place on Friday 29 September at South & City College Birmingham, Digbeth Campus, B5 5SU. Mykal Wassifa Brown CIC and Blackstory Partnership - Inspiring a New Generation and PFG Consultancy - are the partners responsible for the production of Birmingham’s Black History Month 2017 Brochure and orchestrating BHM launch Event. Our aim is to respect the Black History narrative by way of celebrating and acknowledging the achievements, contributions and struggles of Black people. We hope we have achieved one aim through the publication this year’s BHM brochure. As we celebrate 30 years of Black History Month acknowledgement in the United Kingdom, our launch program will reflect this iconic milestone by recreating a magical moment in music history and future history. This Train - Sister Rosetta Tharpe and the Story of the Song written by Jude Freeman. Before there was Elvis there was Chuck… before there was Chuck there was Sister Rosetta Tharpe. This Train rolls back the years to Sister Rosetta’s 1964 Granada Television, appearance on the platform of a disused railway station in Manchester. Here the guitar playing godmother of rock and roll takes us further back in time to tell the story of the music she pioneered featuring musical tributes from local artists, accompanied by a live band. Interpretation of the Youth An array of young talented artists from Wassifa Youth Project will showcase their knowledge and recognition of Black History through performances of inspirational songs, spoken word and dance. This double-bill launch program will empower, enthuse and motivate all of our guests.
