Part 10 - LBCAA 30 year history
Carol Glover, President of Long Beach Central
Area Association in 1996, recruited me to become a member primarily because of
my extensive background as a talent agent and concert promoter. The biggest
media covered activity of LBCAA was their role as co-producer of the City’s
annual MLK Jr. Parade & Celebration. Carol Glover further recruited me to
run for President in 1997. The election was very divisive and I was elected by
a single vote. A significant group of longtime members including several
founding members discontinued their membership. I was viewed as a candidate representing
one faction in a preexisting bitter rivalryThe Long Beach Museum of Art scheduled a
remarkable traveling exhibit titled PORTRAITS
OF A PEOPLE: PICTURING AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY August 2
to November 25, 2006. Please see Pic 1 catalogue and http://www.19thc-artworldwide.org/autumn06/50-autumn06/autumn06review/149-portraits-of-a-people-picturing-african-americans-in-the-nineteenth
A diverse and extensive collection of African American
individuals and organizations came together in financial and volunteer support
for the exhibit and related events. The Long Beach Central Area Association
contribution was producing three music lectures followed by three performances.
