Service: "The impact of the United States Census 2010"
Call to Conscience 2010 acknowledges the 2010 Census and raises awareness among African Americans and all people about the impact of the census, what the significance of the data means, and how it can be used.
“Call to Conscience” – The Historical connection between
African
Americans
and the Jewish Community.
This year we will examine the historical aspect of this relationship, from antiquity, through slavery, to the present, and vision what this “ethnic” relationship could or should look to be in the future.
Why is there again a focus on “health”?
Statistics from ALL sources document the disproportionate effects that people of color suffer due to unhealthy life choices, lifestyles, health disparities and life circumstances. MUSICA Entertainment, through “Call to Conscience” is creating awareness and calling for social action among people of color, and ALL people. Call to Conscience 2010, A Celebration of Black History, chronicles the legacy of African Americans from slavery to the Presidency, while impacting healthy lifestyle choices, community building, career choices, economics and education. We are excited about this opportunity through “Call to Conscience to impact the total person and the entire community.
