William Clinton

In celebration of the birthday of Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, the Shirley Chisholm Cultural Institute (SCCI) is launching the first round of the William R. Howard Scholarship on November 30, 2022. The scholarship in the amount of $500 each will be awarded to two young adults between the ages of 18 to 24 in the areas of art, culture, and/or academics. 

The International Opera Institute presents a celebration of Streisand and Sinatra in 'The Concert That Never Was' At The Indian Wells Performing Arts Center on November 10 at 7:30 pm. 'The Concert That Never Was' is a concert between Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand that was planned but never took place. This stellar evening will be performed by Opera and Jazz Diva Rose Kingsley, Actor and Entertainer Richard Shelton and The Bob Corwin Trio. I had the chance to catch up with Ms. Kingsley to talk about her storied career and the upcoming Streisand/Sinatra Concert. Here are a few excerpts from that interview:

The "Little Rock Nine" made history when on the first day of school, September 4, 1957, they were barred from attending Little Rock Central High School in Little Rock, AR.  Sixty one years later (September 4, 2018), former Governor and First Lady of Arkansas - President Clinton and Secretary Clinton - attended a performance of "Little Rock."

John Kermit Kerr, a poet, devoted writer, history buff and author, has completed his new book 'Poems and Songs of the Presidents of the 20th Century': a vibrantly illustrated work that tells historic stories through the art of poetry.

During his career, he had been responsible for the security of President William Clinton and managed an international financial crimes task force. Since retiring from the Secret Service in 2001, Mr. Sloan has traveled extensively as a corporate security executive representing Western Union and the New York Stock Exchange. He is a recognized authority on identifying physical security risks and designing programs to protect employees and company assets. Synopsis - An Air Force transport plane, ferrying the president's limousine and scores of Secret Service, Marine, and Air Force personnel, goes missing over Saudi Arabia. This is no accident, but rather a well-choreographed plan by Bratva, the Russian mob, to hijack the aircraft and exchange its cargo for the release of a brilliant and dangerous cyber hacker named Max. One of those on board happens to be Special Agent Carly Strain, lead investigator in the case against Max. Travelling as a key member of the Secret Service contingent, she also hoped to spend some time with her husband, Coast Guard Commander Will Strain, military attaché to the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait. Both husband and wife are thrust into the center of this international drama, pitting the Russian mob against America's elite security forces. Sloan is available for interviews and appearances.
