Last night, Mr. R. Donahue Peebles was honored at the Amsterdam News’ 100th Anniversary Gala at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center in New York City. Mr. Peebles was recognized with honorees Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Congressman Charles Rangel and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Distinguished guests included former President Bill Clinton, Rev. Al Sharpton, designer Kenneth Cole, Comptroller Bill Thompson and Governor David Paterson.
The
festive event was both a celebration of New York City’s best
community-focused newspaper and a fundraiser to facilitate the
modernization of the newspaper’s historic chronicles.
ABOUT THE AMSTERDAM NEWS GALA
The Amsterdam News
was founded in 1909 to provide an editorial voice which would reinforce
to Black New Yorkers that their lives were important. The Educational
Fund’s goal of the 100th Anniversary is to raise funds to
transfer the newspaper’s extraordinary archives to a digital format
with the hope of expanding access to critical chapters of
African-American history. Amsterdam’s archives include articles by prominent African-Americans such as W. E. B. Du Bois, Roy Wilkins, Adam Clayton Powell, Herb Boyd, Kevin Powell and Malcolm X
as well as more than half a million photographs depicting news and life
in Harlem, Black America and various Black cultures throughout the
world.

please please please whoever posted that obnoxious Nancy Hall song trashing Don Peebles . . . I beg you, its the holiday season and suicides are always on the rise . . . don't post it again!!
ReplyDeleteOr as we like to refer to Nancy - "Screech".
ReplyDeleteThe sitting President could have came to Pacifica, had Peebles bought & built out the quarry!!!!
ReplyDeletehmmm, I wonder why this wasn't posted on Riptide . . .
ReplyDeleteWhoever added that link to the song needs to be disciplined harshly.
ReplyDeleteIt's like a car accident... You don't want to click it, but you can't help yourself. As your skin starts crawling and you are overcome with nausea, though, you instantly regret it.
even though I knew what would follow, I still pressed PLAY. How sick is that, Scotty?
ReplyDeleteYou guys are hysterical!
ReplyDeleteJeff you made me do it. I hit the play button. Now I'm hitting the bottle!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hit the play button and my dog left home...
ReplyDeleteI hit the play button and five seconds later all the dogs in the neighborhood were howling along.
ReplyDeleteI hit the play button and my dog started foaming at the mouth and attacked me.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't heard notes like that since the time a mob of fans stepped on our tails.
ReplyDeleteNancy-san even makes me sound good!
ReplyDeleteSounds like Cher right after a root canal.
ReplyDeleteYoko:
ReplyDeleteNancy even makes you look good!
I can neither confirm nor deny this song was used to torture al Qaeda prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, but Ms. Hall's inimitable voice has been a critical tool in coercing intelligence from suspected terrorist cells
ReplyDeleteI would rather be water-boarded!
ReplyDeleteNancy my hero. SHE BANGS!
