With Deep Gratitude,
Beautiful People,
This Is the BEGINNING.
With Deep Gratitude I thank Linda Murray, the team at NYPL Performing Arts Lincoln Center for hosting the GOOD IS POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE Book Launch, All In Attendance and Every Supporter. This auspicious evening was filmed by NYPL Performing Arts.
In attendance were representing the Grammy Award Winning ACapella Group, Sweet Honey In The Rock were Carol Maillard and Louise Robinson. All members have been gifted copies of the books, GOOD IS POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE and the Sacred Nile donated by award winning photographer, author and historian Chester Higgins.
It was a perfect multigenerational evening of Grace with brilliant performances by Jason E. Fernandez Bernard, Dr. Stephanie Boddie, Victoria Horne, a Special Tribute to Betty J Tilman by Dr. William Tiga Tita, a Presentation of the Betty J. Tilman GOOD IS POWERFUL Award by Fred Watkins to Tyrone Rasheed, a powerful (though too short) Panel Discussion on GOODNESS led by Dr. Robert Woods, with Naima Dobbs, James Gillard, Joseph James Jr, Bonnie Johnson, Jan Schmidt & Andrew Zaeh.
Rev. Don Marbury was flexible because of our time constraints and gave a beautiful abbreviated rendition of his piece honoring Sweet Honey In The Rock which appears in GOOD IS POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE.
