On June 30th, the Jazz Museum in Harlem was honored at an event celebrating Black Music Month (held at Aaron Davis Hall on the City College campus). The hosts and sponsors included the Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce, 100 Black Man of New York and JP Morgan Chase. Featured speakers were Representative Charles Rangel, GHCC chairman Lloyd Williams and top-ranking banking and community officials. The JMIH received a $10,000 grant to continue its work establishing its presence in the community and generating interest in the JMIH’s mission.
