Take Action. Inspire Change. Make Every Day a Mandela Day.
Rockers Movement joins Inity Weekly annually in celebrating Nelson Mandela Day in Denver. It is a celebration of peace and love in recognition of the icon Nelson Mandela, otherwise known as Madiba. The event consists of poetry, art and live music, a night remembering the icon and the beacon of hope he has been.
Nelson Mandela International Day was launched in recognition of Nelson Mandela’s birthday on July 18, 2009, by unanimous decision of the U.N. General Assembly. It was inspired by a call Mandela made a year earlier for the next generation to take on the burden of leadership in addressing the world’s social injustices. “Take Action; Inspire Change; Make Every Day a Mandela Day.”
The celebration features international and local acts that instill positive and intelligent lyrics into their music, alongside a poetry edition among eminent poets and verse writers and a live art painting demonstration. In 2015, headliner Akae Beka Sun Star Moon Roots, featuring Vaughn Benjamin, lead singer of Midnite, joined Colorado-based hip-hop act The reMINDers and DJ Milky Dubz for a concert raising funds for peace missions and child education in impoverished African nations.
