"Clearly we are in a crisis. As we look at the current landscape, Black
music/culture and history are under assault both internally and externally.
From mass media entertainers, corporate interests, government policy and
more, Black music/culture and history are under daily attack and as a result
many of our younger people have become confused. We understand that the
future is at stake and we know that the key to salvaging that future is in
the hands of our younger people. The Philadelphia Black Heritage Festival
provides us the opportunity to partner with and focus on entertaining/
educating younger people in a setting that is conducive to their actually
absorbing the message and advancing the culture."
