Dear Ying,
Temple University Student

 Thank you so much for volunteering with New Start Foundation Inc/Artists against Violence on National Night Out, 2015. The face painting artwork was wonderful, and the children really loved working with you. I know it was a lot of work, but I don't think anyone could have done a better job. We're so happy you shared your talents with us. We would love to work with you again. You have my number please stay in touch.  I hope you like the collage I put together. Thank you again,

Philly's Own Gossip Girl goes rogue on #shameonyoujohnjlongacre

Join me in hash tag #shameonyoujohnjlongacre

You see more BROTHERS need to stickup for us SISTERS! Half of the battles we your SISTERS go up against especially when it comes to our communities are a VIOLATION!

We all know that MAN is his own greatest enemy and his own best friend. He has the power of destroying himself or advancing himself. He can bless or curse his own life.  This is so true especially in this case I'm about to share with you.

Does anybody and I do mean ANYBODY know this man #JohnJLongacre of LPMG Cos? He is the #President #LPMGCos. a real estate development, management, and finance organization in South Philadelphia.

Well this man disrespected one of our long time #activist in #Philadelphia.....we ALL know or heard about her #PAYTHIAJENKINS who has been around a long time and is currently helping our parents and grandparents (our SENIOR CITIZENS & ELDERLY) to live in safe and healthy living conditions with the Senior Home Repair Project and this man thinks he can disrespect her and her organization because he has a 30 MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT with the CITY of PHILADELPHIA and he GREASES too many of our POLITICIANS palms.

Paythia my long time friend is devastated and so are the volunteers helping her. I'm quite sure there were other contractors more worthy who invest not only in the neighborhoods but the people.  #shameonyoujohnjlongacre the supplies you gave to senior project was donated from #homedepot it's no like you gave back and plus your plumber was a no call no show for the second time and you had that poor senior citizen waiting for you to help him get running water!!
Never happened!!#
I BET YOU CAN NAME THE POLITICIANS! I'll start first with #CouncilPresidentDarrellClarke, or #CouncilmanKenyattaJohnson, how about #JannieBlackwell?

Yes, I'm back and it's your VERY OWN PHILLY GOSSIP GIRL COMING AT YA!!!!
HOLLA.....

Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr. Partners with MC Lyte on
Groundbeaking New Book
FUSION: Bridging the Gap Between Civil Rights and Hip Hop
  
Fusion
www.fusionthemovement.com 

LOS ANGELES (January 9, 2015) -- Civil Rights Leader Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr. and Hip Hop Icon MC Lyte have joined forces with the penning of FUSION: Bridging the Gap Between Civil Rights and Hip Hop (www.fusionthemovement.com),  which spawned from a private conversation about social justice between the two icons last summer. This captivating dialogue examines how the Civil Rights Movement helped with the emergence of Hip Hop and how Hip Hop continues to help the survival of the Civil Rights Movement - with a rare focus on the roles women played throughout this unique era. Misogyny, the evolution of gender roles in the movement towards justice and equality, and the pervasiveness of music on Black culture and its global impact are discussed with the effervescence of two great leaders who are passionate about the continued advancement of peoples of color around the globe.  A portion of the proceeds from FUSION benefit #EducateOurMen, the signature education initiative of Hip Hop Sisters Foundation, where Dr. Chavis and MC Lyte serve as Sr. Advisory Board Member and Chairman/Founder, respectively (www.educateourmen.info).

"FUSION and my partnership with Dr. Chavis allow me to continue to lead my generation in delivering positive images and messages about our continued efforts to achieve justice and equality, while providing access to higher education, mentorship and tools for social responsibility," said MC Lyte.

"Working with MC Lyte to publish FUSION will help to stimulate more constructive and progressive dialogue, as well as direct social action, to achieve freedom, justice and and equality for all while highlighting the positive transformative attributes of hip-hop culture and the ongoing Civil Rights Movement," said Dr. Chavis.

The interdependence of the Civil Rights Movement to Hip Hop is unquestionable; hence FUSIONuncovers unknown historical stories that show the FUSION of these worlds.  FUSION is that rare conversation turned to life - with an interpersonal look at two worlds: Civil Rights & Hip Hop, colliding in a riveting dialogue between two historic and lyrical leaders.  Books can be purchased on Amazon and at fusionthemovement.com.
