This event was last Tuesday and I know I'm a little late on the post but I still wanted to share a little about the event since I thought it was just fantastic. In significance to Black History Month, Arizona State University brought in a special guest speaker/artist, John Legend. Students were able to attend the presentation for free with a ASU Sun Card along with a free guest ticket to bring someone along. And aside from John Legend just being a great song writer and artist, he gave a very moving and motivating lecture on the importance of African-American history, politics and his personal philosophical views. I was inspired that such a great artist is really involved and is concerned about events happening around the world. Projects that he is involved with include Show Me Campaign, for communities in great poverty and Teach for America, improving the education systems.
Then of course, he performed some of his greatest songs; just him and the piano (incredibly romantic by the way). Gosh, it was amazing. The next day I get a message on twitter saying my 'tweet,'along with a few others has "made it to the Phoenix New Times!" (lol) I thought it was amusing that they just decide to quote me in their blog and article without a notice, I don't mind but hey check out the article and one of my favorite songs from John Legend.
