On Friday I attended Costumes for Change, where the profit would go to the final days of the Obama campaign. The beauty of the event was seeing young black professionals come together in New York and partying with a purpose. During these hard economic times, it is amazing to see young Black people still manage to give their last towards the fight for change. I am reminded of the 50s and 60s where Blacks from all over the country joined together to fight Jim Crow laws and end the many years of segregation. Just like on Friday, on November 4th we must come together and exercise our right to vote. For without your vote, there will be no change!
As young Blacks we must realize that we are in charge of ensuring that generations that follow us will experience a better America than we have. We must continue to come together beyond the election, because the Change cannot be made by Barack alone. It is going to take all of us to continue the fight until it is won.
Enjoy the photos from Friday's event and tell us which Costume for Change you liked the best!
Special congrats to Jennifer Law for her vision. BIVY and Adam Guthrie for carrying it out.
