The fifth annual Black Marriage Day emphasized the importance of successful marriages and strong families in the Black community.

Gospel groups from around the city gathered at Bachar Outreach Ministries Church to rehearse in advance of the second Milwaukee Gospel Jubilee.

The Fresh Perspective series plans to give black men in Milwaukee a chance to stage art shows and sell their work. Its coordinators strive to break down stereotypes against black men that say “they can’t do that.”
