We Shall Over Come

If you remember any thing about American history while in school, there were a few Black historic figures they taught during the late 70's and early 80's. We learned a little about Christopher Attucks, Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglas, George Washington Carver, Martin Luther King Jr. (only that he had a dream), If you're lucky, maybe there were mentions of Nat Turner, Malcolm X, Langston Hughes, Dr. Charles Drew.

There were countless other African Americans that contributed to American History. Although it is nice to concentrate on Black History in the month Of February, Black History is 365 days. I rather like Black History is American History, without one, there would be no other.
The show "We Shall Overcome" is dedicated to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The show celebrates his life and his vision and hopes for a greater America. America greatness is always brightness when all it's citizen are working together pulling together for a positive goal.
We have come a long way my children and yet we have a long way to go. There are things like reverse discrimination, Jenna 6, Victims of Hurricane Katrina, Issue of immigrants vs Border control still looming to keep us divided. The fight is not over, we shall overcome.

Janurary Artist of The Month

One of our favorite artist at Gospel Cafe is Kirk Franklin. I met Mr. Franklin in Detroit when he was releasing his hit Cd "The rebirth of Kirk Franklin." That's when I gain a strong love for his craftsmanship. We have played at least one of his songs per show. Now here's are some Video to go with those songs we have played. Kirk Franklin is our first artist of the month.

Kirk Franklin has a new Cd "The Fight of My Life" features the explosive "Declaration (This is It)" is a very uplifting and praising song. Kirk gives his fans (Gospel Cafe) more fantastic music to feed the soul.
