O'Brien at Shades of Our Community Booth July 4th

The Shades of Our Community Tour comes to the Essence Music Festival 2009 in New Orleans on July 3-5.

The Shades of Our Community tour is a traveling "event within an event" that is traversing the country throughout the summer. It is appearing at community festivals and fairs and offers an array of activities, music, videos, health screenings, children's activities, and plenty of goodies and giveaways. From confronting health issues, to sharing the bonds of family, it provides the African American community, and the entire community, a chance to come together to live, laugh, and learn.

The setup consists of five interactive tents that reflect the theme Live. Laugh. Learn. Attendees can enjoy continuous music, prizes for dance-offs, song-lyric and trivia contests and more. They can have their photo taken with cutout standees of their favorite TV characters. A face-painting artist for kids and lots of giveaways will also be featured.



Soledad O'Brien will appear at the CNN booth on Saturday, July 4, at 2 PM.
