Move On Feat Jabbar

"Writing is a constantly evolving and shifting occupation because I am free to go wherever my interests take me. My interest in popularizing overlooked instances in African-American history led me to write several history books. My interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) education resulted in me writing a children's book about forgotten black inventors. My passion for mystery novels, especially Sherlock Holmes stories, allowed me to write novels featuring Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock's smarter brother. ... Even more important, my 50-year history as a social activist is given voice through my political articles for Time magazine, the Washington Post, the New York Times and the Hollywood Reporter. Being a writer means that every day brings a different topic or even genre for expressing myself, whether it's a serious political article, a documentary film about the Harlem Renaissance (or) a column about the influence of 'The Bachelor/Bachelorette' franchise on American ideals of romance. ... Who knows what tomorrow may bring?"

Welcome to theWhite House, and thank you for joining us as we celebrate Black MusicMonth.I wish Laura were here, but she's got a good excuse. She's in NewOrleans. She went down there to talk to the American LibraryAssociation's Annual Conference, and she spoke about the importance ofrebuilding school libraries up and down the Gulf Coast of our country.She sends her best. I wish she could be here to hear the music. I knowshe's going to love it as much as I will love it.I'm looking forward to introducing our artists here in a second. Ido want to recognize Alphonso Jackson, who's a member of my Cabinet.Thank you for coming and thank you for bringing us here -- (applause.)And it's good to see the federal coordinator for the Gulf Coastrebuilding effort, Don Powell.Thank you for being here, sir.(Applause.) I welcome Chip Pickering from Mississippi, andCongresswoman Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee.Thank you both forcoming, I'm proud you're here.(Applause.)It is always a special treat to be in the presence of Dr. DorothyHeight. Good to see you, Dr. Height. (Applause.) And with us we havetwo great athletes, Alana Beard -- thank you for coming, Alana -- andKareem Abdul Jabbar. Proud you're here. (Applause.)I don't know whether you know this, but Kareem Abdul Jabbar is ajazz expert, and he is working on a documentary about the connectionbetween jazz and basketball. (Laughter.) Pretty good combination.(Laughter.)During this month, we recognize the great contributions that blackmusic has made to our nation. That's why we're here. We express ourgratitude to the artists whose works have inspired our nation and havebrought such beauty into the world.Black music was often born of great pain, from the music of slaveswho sang to warn others that the master was coming, to the music offaith that helped African Americans endure tremendous suffering andovercome injustice. Black music is a really important part of ournation's history and culture, and that's why we're celebrating it heretoday.(Applause.)Some of the finest performances by black musicians have been heardright here in the White House, and we're going to continue thattradition today. During -- in 1878, during the administration ofRutherford B. Hayes, soprano Marie Seilka became the first black artistto perform here in the White House. A few years later, the JubileeSingers of Fisk University became the first black choir to perform here.They moved President Chester Arthur to tears with a rendition of "Safein the Arms of Jesus."Like the man they sang about, the JubileeSingers could not find an inn that would welcome them here inWashington, D.C. Those times have changed, thank goodness.In more recent times, the White House has been graced byperformances by artists like Louis Armstrong and Pearl Bailey, EllaFitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Shirley Caesar, Duke Ellington, and LionelHampton. These men and women created some of the greatest music Americahas ever produced, and they honored our country by sharing their giftsright here in the people's house. We're about to have the same type ofperformances here -- if I can ever quit talking. (Laughter.)This year Black Music Month celebrates the music of our nation'sGulf Coast, soul and blues and jazz. And I'm honored that we've gotthree tremendous performers who represent the best of these three greattraditions.Patti Austin is one of America's most talented singers andsongwriters. Her extraordinary career began at the age of four, whenshe made her debut alongside her godmother, Dinah Washington, atHarlem's famed Apollo Theater.Since then, she's recorded 16 soloalbums, featuring everything from soul to standards. Recently Pattiearned her sixth Grammy nomination with her tribute to Ella Fitzgerald.Patti is an incredible artist.Laura and I have been privileged to seeher perform at the Kennedy Center. I think you're going to like her alot. (Laughter.) She's sung at the White House for every Presidentsince Ronald Reagan.When she was rehearsing her performance for President Reagan, Pattiwas singing so powerfully a piece of molding fell from the ceiling herein the East Room. (Laughter.)Be forewarned.(Laughter.) When Pattisings, she brings down the house. (Laughter.)I'm proud to join thedistinguished line of Presidents who have welcomed her here to the WhiteHouse.With us today is B.B. King, "King of the Blues." (Applause.) B.B.was raised in the Mississippi Delta, where he picked cotton for 35 centsa day, and then he played after work on the street corners for dimes.He says that when he sang gospel songs, "They'd pat me on the head, butwouldn't ever put anything in the hat." (Laughter.) So he wouldchange, "my Lord" to "my baby" -- (laughter) -- and then they alwaysgave him a tip. (Laughter.)One night in the 1950s, B.B. King was playing in an Arkansas towncalled Twist when two men got in a fight over a woman and knocked over akerosene stove and set the whole place on fire. B.B. got out, but thenhe realized he had left his guitar behind. And so he went back inside,he braved the flames, and he rescued the guitar. Later, he learned thatthe lady who had inspired the brawl was named Lucille.So that's whathe named his guitar.Since then, B.B. and Lucille have played more than 10,000 shows.They have thrilled audiences all over the world. B.B. has notched anincredible 74 entries on the Billboard charts, and his work hasinfluenced virtually every major guitar player over the lasthalf-century. He remains gracious and humble, what folks in Mississippicall, "free-hearted."B.B. says this about his career: "I'm trying to get people to seethat we are our brother's keeper." He went on to say, "Red, black,brown, yellow, rich or poor, we all have the blues." It's hard to havethe blues when you're about to hear B.B. King perform.At 80, thisageless star is still going strong, and we are thrilled to welcome himback to the White House. (Applause.)We're also pleased to welcome Irvin Mayfield -- (applause.) Irvinis the cultural ambassador of New Orleans, and artistic director of theNew Orleans Jazz Orchestra. At just 28 years old, Irvin has alreadybecome one of America's finest trumpet players in the great New Orleansjazz tradition. He's more than a musician, he's a decent, big-heartedman.Last year as Hurricane Katrina roared through New Orleans, therising water took his dad, Irvin, Sr. The pain of losing his father wassuddenly unimaginable.Yet in his father's name, Irvin pushed back hisgrief and he went to work. He pulled out his trumpet, he pulledtogether his orchestra and started performing to help others who hadlost homes and loved ones. He helped dry New Orleans' tears through theinspiring power of his music, and he hasn't stopped.He's using his God-given talent to help rebuild his belovedhomeland -- his hometown, one brick and one note at a time. After thestorm, Irvin made this solemn vow: No breached levee will wash away atculture of New Orleans.There's a wonderful and unique tradition in New Orleans called thejazz funeral. The funeral procession parades slowly through thestreets, followed by a band playing a mournful dirge as it moves to thecemetery. Once the casket has been laid in place, and the mourners havemoved out of the cemetery, the music begins to speed up and theprocession is joined by a joyful second line, with crowds of peopledancing and celebrating the triumph of spirit over death.Today, Irvin Mayfield will play a song in the great traditioncalled, Just a Closer Walk With Thee. It's the first song he learnedfrom his dad. He played it at his dad's -- in his dad's memory afterHurricane Katrina, and then he retired the song. We're honored thathe's decided to play it one last time, right here in the White House.Irvin, we thank you for your personal courage and your dedicationto others in a time of adversity. I have no doubt that with every gooddeed you perform and every note you play, your dad is smiling down onyou. God bless you, Irvin.Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Irvin Mayfield.
