For those of you who missed out on Cornel West, stay tuned to MTV all this week as he supports MTV’s THINK campaign.

- Outdoor media campaign launches “Making Black History” Campaign -

February 12, 2008 (Santa Monica, CA) Hidden Beach Recordings is celebrating Black History month this year with an outdoor media campaign in Los Angeles. Timed to maximize industry awareness to coincide with the 50th Anniversary of the Grammy Awards, the outdoor media campaign consists of one dozen 30-sheet billboards in the Hollywood, South-Central, and Crenshaw districts of Los Angeles, as well as the City of Inglewood.

Thornell Jones, Marketing for Hidden Beach says “People often think of History as something from the past. With our campaign, we’re saying that artists and their music which are relevant today will be relevant in the future. Hidden Beach has a commitment to quality music and artists. In a declining marketplace – it’s a notable distinction which sets this label apart, not to mention the fact that Hidden Beach is Black owned and operated.”If you’re in Los Angeles, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the Billboards making label history.

COMMUNITY INVITED TO A CELEBRATION OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH WITH HIDDEN BEACH RECORDING ARTIST DR. CORNEL WEST

Mark Hayes of “Good Day Atlanta” To Moderate Event With Discussions
From New CD Project Never Forget: A Journey of Revelations

Atlanta, Georgia – February 8, 2008— As Black History Month is a time to pay honor to African American achievers and trailblazers of the past and present, the Atlanta community is invited to a special evening with best-selling author, orator, and recording artist Dr. Cornel West. The event will take place on Monday, February 18 at 6:30 p.m. at the Morehouse College King Chapel located at 830 Westview Drive.

Dr. Cornel West’s third album project, Never Forget: A Journey of Revelations, under the Hidden Beach Forum label and produced by Mike Dailey and Clifton West of Black Men Who Mean Business, Sacramento-based writers and producers, will serve as the focal point of discussion at the event. West’s new CD project gives an explosive critique- addressing major issues such as racial profiling, politics, 9/11, war, and a litany of other concerns of not just Black people but America at large. Joining in the effort are Hip Hop and R&B heavy hitters like Prince, Andre 3000, Black Thought, Kanye West protégé’ Rhymefest, KRS-1, Talib Kweli, Dave Hollister, and the late Gerald LeVert, among others, who creatively share the mic on this musical collaboration.

“I am excited to be a part of this upcoming momentous event as we take time to reflect and celebrate while paying tribute to those African Americans who helped make a significant difference in our country,” stated Dr. Cornel West. “Because of the foundation laid through decades of sacrifice and contributions by our forefathers, I am afforded the opportunity to serve and make a difference as well.”

The event is presented by The Home Depot, which is celebrating its diversity with a series of events and programs for associates throughout the month. Other sponsors include Hidden Beach Recordings/Forum, Alpha Rho Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and the Morehouse African American Studies Department.

“In light of Dr. Cornel West’s massive body of relevant work over the years and his recent CD release, we felt this was the perfect opportunity to show what Black History Month is all about,” said K. Michelle Sourie Johnson, director of supplier diversity, The Home Depot.

The event is free and open to the public for those who donate any new book relevant to black history and suitable for students K-5. Donated books will be distributed to local public schools.
