Part 25-LBCAA 30 year history
The
25 part-Long Beach Central
Area Association 30 year history was not a board project but solely
written by
current president, John Malveaux. LBCAA/MusicUNTOLD board members such
as myself, who double as staff are volunteers, without remuneration..
LBCAA/MusicUNTOLD does not have rented office space or overhead
expenses.
LBCAA/MusicUNTOLD has never contracted public relations services.
However, former
reporter. Greg Mellen, of the Press Telegram connected with the our
vision and frequently
wrote about our events between 2008 and 2013. After the Press Telegram
was sold, and Greg Mellen terminated, none of our events have been
covered in a published PT story. We are very grateful for the print
coverage
provided by Greg Mellen that documented many important events.
William J. Zick
is a retired Administrative Law Judge for the Michigan Employment Security
Commission and a former Training Officer for the Michigan Department of Civil
Rights. He founded the
AfriClassical.com website and blog. Mr.
Zick's website and blog have been invaluable to the work of LBCAA/MusicUNTOLD
during my presidency.
Former
Long
Beach City Council Sixth district representative, California State
Assembly
member and US Congress member Laura Richardson invited me, as president
of LBCAA/MusicUNTOLD,
on a trip to Washington DC with art students. The experience expanded
the LBCAA/MusicUNTOLD vision and
aspirations. During Laura Richardson tenure as 6th district
representative LBCAA/MusicUNTOLD produced the highest level MLK Jr
parades & celebrations in the history of the City with community
volunteers. Currently,
community volunteers have been replaced with contracted services.
Hattie Johnson
is a deceased vice president & treasurer of LBCAA/MusicUNTOLD under my
tenure and a member long before my presidency. Luther Evans is a deceased
member and former confidant whose membership and financial support goes back to the
founding of LBCAA. Both deceased members are continuous inspirations and a source of energy.
John Malveaux
and the LBCAA/MusicUNTOLD board of directors humbly thank Los Angeles County
Supervisor Janice Hahn, Fourth District, for 30 year Certificate of Recognition.
