The Black Rep

The Providence Black Rep

The Black Rep is proud to support the rebirth of OIC of Rhode Island. We are pleased to invite you to a celebration honoring the rebirth of OIC of Rhode Island and the beginning of a new community outreach partnership with the Community College of Rhode Island. The event will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 15, at CCRI's Liston Campus in Providence.   From 1967 until its closing in 1991, OIC served thousands of underserved Rhode Islanders with comprehensive employment, youth and community development services. In 1980, OIC celebrated the opening of its new headquarters at One Hilton Street in Providence, the current home of CCRI's Providence campus.   Today's economic conditions, housing foreclosures, high unemployment rates, alarming incarceration trends for black youth, and the growing anxiety and despair in Rhode Island's poorest neighborhoods give rise to the need to restore this mission-driven institution.   The new OIC will focus on program areas that relate to the changing needs of the state's urban populations and complement broader community and economic development strategic planning. Among its initiatives will be minority business development, prison re-entry programming, a focus on environmental and green jobs, development of an urban policy initiative, and outreach, training and employment.   The mission of OIC to create opportunity and encourage self-sufficiency complements CCRI's mission of changing lives. Both organizations will work hand-in-hand to help members of inner-city populations meet their educational and employment goals.   The Nov. 15 launch event will feature music, a youth dance performance and the unveiling of a plaque that recognizes OIC's role in the creation of the building that now houses the CCRI Liston Campus. Several local and regional leaders, as well as many OIC alumni, also have been invited.   We look forward to your attendance and we ask that you R.S.V.P. your attendance plans to Dr. Walter Crocker at (401) 455-6011 or wacrocker@ccri.edu.   Sincerely,           Ray di Pasquale President, CCRI Michael van Leesten Chair, OIC Steering Committee This Week at the Black Rep WEDNESDAY 11.11 Latin Jazz and Salsa Celebrating the Afro-Latino Connection 7pm: Salsa Lessons with Sydonee Harris ($8 for lessons and cover) 8:30pm: Live music with Carlos de Leon and the United Nations Band With DJ Papo spinning the best in Salsa Merenge & Bachata between sets. $5 | 18 | Proper Dress Required THURSDAY 11.12 B-Side Café Classic Hip-Hop and R&B DJ Finesse with drummer extraordinaire Animal C 9pm-1am: $5 | 18 FRIDAY 11.13 LIVE MUSIC SERIES Tjovi Ginen meets AfroSonic Haitian Roots Music meets Deep Rooted Afro-Soul The DJs and drummers from The AfroSonic Collective meet Haitian roots band Tjovi Ginen in an explosive live mash-up thing.
