Thank You Mr. President

Well wouldn't you know it Bush has taken time out
of his busy schedule to recognize Black Music month.
I guess thats the least he could do for us since he has
not given us much and this won't cost him nothing.


Although most of us already recognize June as Black Music Month, apparently it had never been made official through the federal government – until yesterday.
The White House released a proclamation by President George W. Bush announcing that the month of June will now and forever more be recognized and acknowledged by the country as Black Music Month.

Ladies and gentleman, here’s your President:

During Black Music Month, we recognize the outstanding contributions that African-American singers, composers, and musicians have made to our country, and we express our appreciation for the extraordinary music that has enriched our Nation.

The music of African-American musicians has helped shape our national character and become an important part of our musical heritage. Often born out of great pain and strong faith, that music has helped African Americans endure tremendous suffering and overcome injustice with courage, faith, and hope. By speaking to the human experience and expressing heartfelt emotion, African-American artists have inspired people across the generations in America and around the world with their vision and creativity.
