NOT FOR MARRIED PEOPLE ONLY.  Join us March 27, as more than 300 communities and neighborhoods across the country organize events to celebrate marriage in the Black community. Black Marriage Day 2010 was another incredible success.  Another new movie, 'Men Ain’t Boys,” makes its debut this year in 100 cities.  It's not too late to get in that number. From the cities that debuted You Saved Me, to the cities that promoted Tyler Perry's movie “Why Did I Get Married Too”, to the cities that inducted couples into their Black Marriage Day Hall of Fame to the couples who just reminded each other how special they are in their lives, BMD was another beyond words event.  Visit http://www.blackmarriageday.com/Black_Marriage_Day/Welcome.html for more details.  Advance tickets can be purchased at www.neworleansblackmarriageday.com.  The event is hosted by Idell Media Group, LLC.

A COMMUNITY SINGS

Ashe Cultural Arts Center, 1724 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd.
(504) 569-9070
FREE
You are invited to sing your heart out at this event.  Led by songbird and actress Michaela Harrison, you will take a walk down memory lane with some old time favorites.  You just never know what the theme might be--movie and television series theme songs, favorite western songs, childhood songs, etc.  

But for this month, no guessing needed for the theme will be SONGS BY AND ABOUT WOMEN in honor of Women's History Month.  

Come prepared to sing.
