The N.O.A.H. Project Community Peace Concert
On June 13, 2009, The N.O.A.H. Project will present a free Community Peace Concert in the Parking lot of Central UMC, right next to Comerica Park in downtown Detroit. The concert is to promote peace and raise awareness on the issues surrounding homelessness. We all claim to want peace in this chaotic world, let us claim to want peace in our own backyard. Anyone is invited to enjoy music, poetry, and speakers that talk about peace at home. All are welcome to celebrate our common humanity.
Hafsat Abiola once said, “Peace comes from being able to contribute the best that we have, and all that we are, toward creating a world that supports everyone. But it is also securing the space for others to contribute the best that they have and all that they are.” Peace comes through the solidarity that is developed through community.
Bringing to you the sounds of peace and justice are many wonderful acts including headliner Jocelyn B. & the Detroit Street Players, surrounded by the unique and eclectic sounds of Julie Beutel, shoe., the Y-Arts Deep River Choir, the Recovery Band and a band from the N.O.A.H. Arts Collective. Also featuring Guest Speaker Bishop Thomas Gumbleton and special poetry readings from local poets. Sponsoring this event are the wonderful supporters of the Y-Arts and Central United Methodist Church.
