An Icon is Celebrated Again!

/ Black History, Ward 5 / By The Editor's Voice

\"Chuck CHUCK BROWN MEMORY LIVES ON!

Chuck Brown Memory lives on. On Saturday August 20th from 3 to 7 p.m. the DMV residents celebrated the 2nd Annual Chuck Brown day. The event was held at Chuck Brown Memorial Park, located at 2901 20th Street Northeast. It was hosted by DC Department of Parks and Recreation in conjunction with DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.

Chuck Brown Day was a free event attended by the Godfather of Go-Go fans that still have love for the DC legend. Many observers brough their own lawn chairs and blankets as they watched the Chuck Brown Band, Secret Society, and Plunky and Oneness perform. The performances were awesome and the crowd loved them. From the time the music begin until it was over, the crowd was dancing and singing along.

There were several vendors present selling shirts, compact disks and other various Chuck Brown memorabilia. There also was a tent where they were giving away free book bags and school supplies for kids. The event ended with no violence and tons of happy people celebrating the remembrance of The Godfather of Go-Go Mr. Chuck Brown himself.

The mission of The DC Voice is to provide an opportunity for local residents, educational and religious institutions, and businesses to; have a voice and provide a major online presence for all things local to their communities.

Most underserved communities only gain public spotlight or notoriety based on the latest criminal act or social disparity while the families sustaining those communities and providing positive role models go begging to be seen…. or heard.

The DC Voice was born out of that cry to be heard. All voices, young, old, deaf, disabled, and marginalized need a voice. The DC Voice stands as that voice!

All donations given to The DC Voice are used to help sustain this publication. We hire writers and contributors of all ages and all parts of the community. Our focus over the past 3 years are our student writers. We have offered opportunities to high schoolers through college students to apply their journalistic and media talents.
