Celebrate September-Gospel Music Heritage Month
September is Gospel Music Heritage Month! Let’s celebrate the contributions of this genre of music that has influenced music worldwide. In June, 2008, dual legislations passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate designated September as “Gospel Music Heritage Month”. The mission is to educate and celebrate the art form and rich heritage of all genres of gospel music through word and song. In 2008 Congresswoman Sheila Jackson (D-Texas) and Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark) led the passing of a resolution in declaring each September as Gospel Music Heritage Month. The 5th Annual Evolution of Gospel celebration will be held on September 16, 2013 at the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, D. C. at 8PM. Congratulations to Atty. Ron Magnus (DC) and all of the promoters and supporters of this historic occasion. Plan to attend! Let’s Celebrate!
