Rep. McEachin announces $30+ million in housing grants Congressman Donald McEachin (VA-04) has announced numerous grants for localities throughout the Fourth Congressional District awarded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). “I have fought throughout my time in Congress to protect constituents’ access to safe, sanitary, affordable housing. I am very excited to see these housing resources for use throughout the district,” said Congressman Donald McEachin. “Everyone deserves decent, safe shelter and these monies will help localities provide additional housing for residents who struggle.” Chesapeake received $1,182,627 in a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) to help build viable
urban communities by creating housing and job opportunities for low-income individuals. Chesapeake also received a $550,827 HOME grant for expanding affordable housing in the community. In addition, the fourth congressional district received $18,289,253 in Community Development Block Grants, and $2,771,457 in an Emergency Solution grant that works to reduce homelessness by supporting shelters and assisting homeless individuals. The district was also awarded $10,094,628 in a HOME grant to augment affordable housing and a $962,389 HOPWA grant that supports housing assistance for low-income individuals with HIV/AIDS.
Congressman McEachin says he spent time trying to ensure his constituents have safe, affordable and clean housing resources.

Aretha Franklin: Queen of Soul, civil rights advocate and more She performed at the inauguration of Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. The most memorable performance, however, is when she sang “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” during the inauguration of President Barack Obama. She lived through the Civil Right Movement and lived to see a black man become president. Now she, the “Queen of Soul”, Aretha Franklin will rest in peace. Franklin, whose voice changed the world and helped move the Civil Rights Movement, died Aug. 16 in her home in Detroit. She was 76. The fourth of five children, Aretha Louise Franklin was born on March 25, 1942, in Memphis, Tennessee, to Baptist preacher Reverend Clarence La Vaughan “C. L.” Franklin and Barbara Siggers Franklin, a gospel singer. Franklin’s musical gifts became apparent at an early age. Largely self-taught, she was regarded as a child prodigy. A gifted pianist with a powerful voice, Franklin got her start singing in front of her father’s congregation. By the age of 14, she had recorded some of her earliest tracks at his church, which were released by a small label as the album, “Songs of Faith” in 1956. She also performed with C.L.’s traveling revival show and, while on tour, befriended gospel greats such as Mahalia Jackson, Sam Cooke and Clara Ward. Hitting her stride in 1967 and 1968, Franklin churned out a string of hit singles that would become enduring classics, showcasing Franklin’s powerful voice and gospel roots in a pop framework. In 1967, the album “I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)” was released, and the first song on the album, “Respect”— an empowered cover of an Otis Redding track—reached No. 1 on both the R&B and pop charts and won Aretha her first two Grammy Awards. She also had Top 10 hits with “Baby I Love You,” “Think,” “Chain of Fools,” “I Say a Little Prayer,” “(Sweet Sweet Baby) Since You’ve
Been Gone” and “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman.” Franklin’s chart dominance soon earned her the title “Queen of Soul,” while at the same time she also became a symbol of Black empowerment during the Civil Rights Movement of the time. In 1968, Franklin was enlisted to perform at the funeral of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during which she paid tribute to her father’s fallen friend with a heartfelt rendition of “Precious Lord.” Later that year, she was also selected to sing the national anthem to begin the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. In 1987, Franklin became the first female artist to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and was also awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Detroit. That same year, she released the album “One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism,” which won the Grammy for Best Soul Gospel Performance. In 2005, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and became the second woman ever to be inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame. In 2008, she received her 18th Grammy Award for “Never Gonna Break My Faith”—a collaboration with Mary J. Blige—and was tapped to sing at the 2009 presidential inauguration of Barack Obama. With 18 Grammys under her belt, Franklin is one of the most honored artists in Grammy history. In 2011, Franklin released her first album on her own label, “A Woman Falling Out of Love.” To support the project, she performed several concerts, including a two-night stint at the famed Radio City Music Hall in New York. With fans and critics alike impressed with her performances, she successfully proved that the Queen of Soul still reigned supreme. Earlier this year, Franklin selected Jennifer Hudson to portray her in an upcoming biopic about her life.

Henrico County Public Schools’ “Back-to-School Kickoff” While Sept. 4 will be the day students first fill the hallways and cafeterias, the excitement of the 2018-19 school year started earlier, at Henrico County Public Schools’ (HCPS) first-ever “Back-to-School Kickoff.” The event was held this past Saturday at the Eastern Henrico Recreation Center. There was a mix of family activities, including a DJ, food trucks, inflatables, onsite school registration and a Splash Zone. The division-wide event was sponsored by Henrico Schools’ Department of Family and Community Engagement, and all Henrico County families are invited to attend. In other HCPS news, Henrico County’s general government and the school system have been honored by the Virginia Association of Counties (VACo) for two initiatives offering hands-on learning opportunities in STEM subjects for older elementary students and providing role models for students at The Academy at Virginia Randolph. VACo also recognized the region’s efforts to identify community-based solutions to the opioid crisis. VACo recognized 25 programs in its 2018 Achievement Awards competition among a record 106 submissions by member counties across the state. VACo will salute the winners of its 16th awards competition during its annual conference in November. “One of the greatest tests of any local government is how it responds to the evolving needs of its community,” Henrico County Manager John A. Vithoulkas said. “In Henrico, we embrace this challenge and empower our
employees and departments to continuously look for new and better ways to meet the needs of our residents. The VACo awards program is an excellent way to celebrate localgovernment innovation in Virginia. Congratulations to all the winners.” Henrico received an award for the Elementary Explorers program of the Henrico County Public Library. Started in 2016, the program teaches STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) topics to third through fifth graders at the Tuckahoe Area Library. Popular with children and parents, the program offers hands-on instruction, promotes discovery and provides age-appropriate learning opportunities that complement school curriculum. HCPS earned an award for the 100 Men Challenge at The Academy at Virginia Randolph. The initiative invites 100 men from various professions onto the campus one day each month to serve as role models and to motivate, encourage and support the male students. VACo also recognized the region’s efforts to identify solutions to the opioid epidemic. Hanover County received an award for the Revive RVA: Regional Solutions to the Opioid Crisis summit, which was organized by Henrico, Chesterfield and Hanover counties and the city of Richmond. The summit, held in October at the Greater Richmond Convention Center, attracted about 850 community members and included speakers, moderated discussions and training on how to save someone’s life following an overdose.

Aretha was Detroit’s favorite homegirl
I grew up in Detroit in the 1960s where Aretha Franklin, the undisputed “Queen of Soul,” was affectionately known as “Ree-Ree.” Listening to Franklin’s soulful, stirring voice was moving for me, even as a young boy – 12 years old – and since the iPod hadn’t been invented yet, I would sometimes hum Franklin’s musical hits while walking home from school. Franklin died Thursday at 76, the result of pancreatic cancer. The world has lost perhaps the most phenomenal singer in music history. Franklin was a legend. She was an extraordinary singer and a powerful voice for civil rights in the 1960s. Detroit claims her as its own – and rightfully so –since she began her career as a child hitting sky-high notes inside New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit – but Franklin really belonged to the world. Who hasn’t tapped their feet or danced to “Respect,” or sang aloud to “The House That Jack Built” or “Rock Steady” or “Eleanor Rigby” or, in a

rousing tribute to The Rolling Stones, “Jumping Jack Flash?” I never met Aretha Franklin, I saw her on a couple occasions in Detroit, but I certainly felt her indelible presence while growing up in Motown. I was raised on Detroit’s East Side in a tight-knit Black community of well-manicured lawns where the children of Levi Stubbs, the lead singer for The Four Tops, lived next door. On hot summer nights with the windows open to circulate the hot air, I could often hear the soothing sounds of The Four Tops on the record player next door while his children – Deborah, Beverly and Raymond — sang the parts of background singers — hits like “Baby I Need Your Loving,” “Reach Out (I’ll Be There)” and “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch).” Sometimes, perhaps on his way out-of-town for a performance, Stubbs would call Raymond and I into the street for a foot race.

One time, Stubbs, dressed neatly in a black suit and hard-sole shoes, counted off to start the race, sprinted quickly to the end of the block, slowing down just enough to tease us as we struggled to catch him before he crossed the makeshift finish line. He always beat us. I remember Stubbs sharing his admiration for fellow singers like Aretha Franklin. I also recall a memorable duet in 1986 – “I Want To Be With You” — where Franklin plays piano while Stubbs leans over her crooning in his legendary raspy voice as Franklin makes a passionate reference to The Four Tops singing at her wedding. Stubbs died in 2008 at 72. Franklin was 76. Both of these larger-than-life singers were part of my childhood upbringing – Stubbs, who I knew personally — and Franklin, who I admired and respected. Bruce Johnson, owner of Avatar Salon and Wellness Spa in Silver Spring, Maryland, recalls meeting Franklin in 2009 after receiving a call from Franklin’s business manager, who was referred by Alexis Herman, the former Secretary of Labor in the Clinton administration and one of Johnson’s VIP clients. “All I could remember is the amazing feeling I got that I was going to meet such a legend and actually do her hair,” Johnson recalled. “She wanted me to get her ready for the Kennedy Center Honors where she was going to introduce the life of the Grace Bumbry. Now I had done some interesting celebs before, but this was
one of those wow moments that I felt I never would forget. “Our conversation was easy and I really felt as if I was talking to a family member as she was very engaged in how many kids I have and where I was from,” Johnson told me. “She was a very personable individual and made me promise not to cut her hair because her stylist in Detroit was the only one who could perform that service. You gotta understand a Black woman and the relationship and trust they have with their hometown hair stylist. “What she left me with was an inspired reality of the everyday customer who would say things like, “Hey, these curls aren’t tight enough or I need you to brush this look out and then style it!” “Here I am thinking how wonderful it is to be in Aretha Franklin’s presence and she hits me with clientstylist relationship stuff,” Johnson said. Franklin was the first woman, not African-American woman, but woman, admitted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She recorded 112 charted singles on Billboard, including 77 Hot 100 entries, 17 top ten pop singles, 100 R&B entries and 20 number-one R&B singles, becoming the most charted female artist in the chart’s history. I appreciated Franklin’s phenomenal musical gifts while growing up in Detroit so many years ago– and I treasure her melodies even more today. .—Michael H. Cottman

America has no royalty. But we do have a chance to earn something more enduring. Born in Memphis and raised in Detroit, Aretha Franklin grew up performing gospel songs in her father’s congregation. For more than six decades since, every time she sang, we were all graced with a glimpse of the divine. Through her compositions and unmatched musicianship, Aretha helped define the American experience. In her voice, we could feel our history, all of it and in every shade—our power and our pain, our darkness and our light, our quest for redemption and our hard-won respect. She helped us feel more connected to each other, more hopeful, more human. And sometimes she helped us just forget about everything else and dance. Aretha may have passed on to a better place, but the gift of her music remains to inspire us all. May the Queen of Soul rest in eternal peace. Michelle and I send our prayers and warmest sympathies to her family and all those moved by her song.—President and Mrs. Barack Obama

Yard Works digs in for RPS Beautification Week When Yard Works’ president Jim Bolinger heard the call for volunteers ahead of Richmond Public Schools’ Beautification Week, he immediately jumped on the opportunity to help. As part of its “RPS Shines” community engagement initiative, Richmond Public Schools is holding a RPS Beautification Week this year on Aug. 18-25, which encourages members of the community to volunteer for various school maintenance projects at its numerous school properties. Over three days next week, a team of volunteers from Yard Works, Central Virginia’s leading manufacturer and distributor of premier landscaping products, will be answering the call. They’ll be joining forces with several of the company’s partners in the industry to tackle multiple landscaping projects at three Richmond-area public schools -- Fisher Elementary School, Southampton Elementary School, and Huguenot High School. At Southampton Elementary School on Tuesday, Aug. 21, Yard Works’ volunteer team pruned some precarious dead limbs from various trees at the school as well as installing a light layer of donated mulch to spruce up main entrance. At Fisher Elementary School on August 22, Yard Works is partnering with crews from Wrightway Landscaping and Arborscapes to bring a team of 14 volunteers for numerous projects, which will include removing large widow-maker limbs from several oak trees, trimming Crepe Myrtles, pulling dead bushes, and donating and installing about 60 cubic yards of mulch throughout the property. They will also be donating and installing rocks to fix a drainage run off issue with the school’s gutter system. Finally, at Huguenot High School on Aug. 23, volunteers from Yard Works will team up with TNT Landscaping to clean up several outdoor areas near the school’s entrance as well as installing about eight cubic yards
of donated mulch. Yard Works’ three-day commitment of pro bono mulch, rock, and labor has an estimated financial value of about $7,500, but Bolinger says the value of school and community pride makes it worth every penny. “I’m really excited to help make these schools look really nice for the students, parents, and teachers when they return for
the school year in September,” Bolinger said. “Having pride in your school and your community is important for everyone and I think we can make a big difference.” However, helping out with RPS Beautification Week, especially at Fisher Elementary School, is also a matter of personal pride for Bolinger. “My oldest daughter attended

kindergarten at Fisher Elementary back when it was called Fisher Model School and I have a lot of fond memories of those days,” Bolinger said. “Attending Fisher really helped prepare her for a lifetime of learning and I’m pleased to be able to volunteer at a local institution that gave my daughter such a wonderful head start.”

Dominion indicates that it is proposing the US-3 Solar Projects in connection with its experimental, voluntary companion tariff, designated Schedule RF, which the Commission recently approved in Case No. PUR-201700137. The Company states that Scout Development LLC, a subsidiary of Facebook, Inc. (“Facebook”) has committed to purchasing the environmental attributes, including renewable energy credits (“RECs”), associated with the proposed Projects at a fixed price under Schedule RF. Dominion maintains that it intends to sell the RECs produced by the US-3 Solar Projects to
The Company proposes an initial rate year for Rider US-3 of March 1, 2019, to February 29, 2020 (“Rate Year”), and represents that the three key components of the revenue requirement for the US-3 Solar Projects are the Projected Cost Recovery Factor, the allowance for funds used during construction (“AFUDC”) Cost Recovery Factor, and the Actual Cost True-Up Factor. Dominion states that the Projected Cost Recovery Factor consists of the projected financing costs on invested capital for the Rate Year, plus income taxes on the equity component of the return and projected operating costs of the plant(s) during the post-commercial operations date portion of the Rate Year, as applicable. The Company indicates that the AFUDC Cost Recovery Factor consists of the recovery of AFUDC projected to be accrued on the Company’s books for the US-3 Solar Projects. Dominion states that it did not include a true-up amount in this proceeding. However, if initiated in 2020 as expected, Dominion represents that the Actual Cost True-Up Factor will either credit to, or recover from, jurisdictional customers the difference between actual revenues recovered through Rider US-3 for calendar year 2019 compared to actual costs. The Company indicates that the total revenue requirement requested for the Rate Year for Rider US-3 is $10,365,000.
The Commission also scheduled a public hearing on March 6, 2019, at 10 a.m., in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, to receive testimony from members of the public and evidence related to the RAC portion of Dominion’s Petition from the Company, any respondents, and the Commission’s Staff.

Dominion maintains that the US-3 Solar Projects are needed, economic, and will provide ongoing capacity, energy, and environmental benefits for its customers and the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Company states that the newly enacted Grid Transformation and Security Act, among other things, promotes the construction of new utility-owned and -operated solar or wind generation facilities and amends Subsection A 6 to provide that 5,000 MW of solar is in the public interest. According to Dominion, beginning construction before December 31, 2019, will allow the Company to maximize the federal investment tax credits available for solar facilities, which will result in an approximately $56 million reduction to overall customer costs.
As proposed, the Projects would include groundmounted, single-axis tracking solar panel arrays with an expected operating life of 35 years. If approved, Dominion expects CTW Solar to be in service by December 2019, and SG1 Solar to be in service by October 2020.

Dominion filed a Motion for Entry of a Protective Order and Additional Protective Treatment, as well as a proposed Protective Order with its Petition.

Babies born with Zika developed health problems not apparent at birth A newly released Vital Signs report revealed about one in seven babies now one-year or older who were born to women with Zika virus infection during pregnancy had one or more health problems possibly caused by exposure to the virus before birth. Some of these problems were not apparent at birth. These striking results show Zika remains a threat. The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), representing the nations nearly 3,000 local governmental health departments, has worked closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to provide its members with the support they need to keep their communities safe from Zika infection. “This report raises new alarm about the potential for devastating health impacts to develop in babies born with Zika virus months after birth. Follow-up care is crucial for all babies who may have been exposed to the virus during pregnancy, whether mom was tested or not,” said NACCHO CEO Lori Tremmel Freeman, MBA.
CDC recommends that all babies born to mothers with Zika virus infection during pregnancy receive a variety of screenings and care even if they appear healthy at birth. CDC scientists analyzed the most current data reported from the US territories and freely associated states to the USZPIR to examine the follow-up care of these babies. This surveillance network is monitoring infants from over 7,300 pregnancies with lab evidence of Zika in the US states and territories combined. To date, this is the largest monitored group of women with Zika during pregnancy in the world and continues to help answer questions about the full impact of Zika. NACCHO recommends that Congress fund ongoing surveillance work at CDC as proposed in the FY2019 President’s Budget and House and Senate Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations bills. CDC further recommends that men with possible Zika virus exposure who are planning to conceive with their partner wait at least 3 months after symptoms
or possible exposure (travel to or residence in an area with risk of Zika). This shortened timeframe also applies for men who are not planning to conceive with their partners but who want to prevent passing of Zika virus through sex. These updated recommendations are based on emerging data, which suggest that risk of infectious Zika virus in semen appears to decline substantially during the 3 months after onset of symptoms. Male to female transmission of Zika is of greatest concern among couples who are trying to conceive, or might conceive unintentionally. It is critical that such couples are counseled to use condoms or abstain from sex for the recommended duration of 3 months. All other Zika guidance remains unchanged. CDC continues to recommend people with a pregnant partner who have possible exposure to Zika use condoms or not have sex for the entire pregnancy. This is to reduce the risk of sexual transmission of Zika virus during pregnancy, given the very serious birth defects that can result.
How local health departments help •Local Health departments work with healthcare providers to collect and report medical information about babies in the US Zika Pregnancy and Infant Registry (USZPIR) . •They can share clinical guidance for mothers and babies affected by Zika, and CDC’s resources for checking development. •Local health departments will continue to raise awareness about the risks of Zika during pregnancy and how people can protect themselves. •Local health departments can connect families affected by Zika with support groups and services and encourage communication between health care providers and families.

50 Cent’s new deal with Starz leads to producing three new TV shows
Starz has announced its commitment to Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson by extending his existing exclusive premium overall deal into September 2019. Jackson, an executive producer for the hit series “Power,” will continue to develop new projects for the network with G-Unit Film & Television, Inc., the production company launched by Jackson. “I am extremely pleased to expand my partnership with Starz and Lionsgate,” Jackson said. “This investment in my television and film ventures through G-Unit Film & Television will launch a wide range of new original scripted and unscripted programming I’m looking forward to everyone seeing.” Starz CEO & President Chris Albrecht added, “This deal recognizes how Curtis’ abilities have gone
beyond music and business to include acting and show creation. We’re pleased to continue our relationship and bring new projects to his current and future fans.” Jackson’s projects currently in development with Starz include “Black Mafia Family” and “Tomorrow, Today.” “Black Family Mafia” is inspired by the story of Demetrius ‘Big Meech’ Flenory and the intersection of the drug industry and the music industry. In “Tomorrow, Today,” after being falsely imprisoned, a veteran from the south side of Chicago becomes the personal experiment of a prison doctor who genetically engineers him to have heighted abilities. Set free, but on the run, the veteran must reconcile with the world that has turned against him, and use his
newfound abilities for good. Nominated for four 2018 NAACP Image Awards including “Outstanding Drama Series” and a 2017 People’s Choice Award for “Favorite Premium Drama Series,” the criticallyacclaimed fourth season of “Power” averaged 9.3 million multi-platform viewers per episode and is the mostwatched franchise for Starz, averaging 7.4 million multiplatform viewers for all four seasons. “Power” ranks #3 among premium scripted series for viewers and was a top three Sunday night program on Nielsen Social Rankings nine out of 10 weeks. 50 Cent, born Curtis James Jackson III, is an award-winning rapper, entrepreneur, actor and producer from Queens, New York. Recognized as one of the most talented and prolific music artists
of his time, the Grammy Award winner rose to fame with his record-shattering debut album, “Get Rich or Die Tryin'” and has since sold more than 30 million albums worldwide and been awarded numerous prestigious accolades. Jackson has leveraged his star power to cross over with unparalleled success as an entrepreneur, actor and producer. From “Get Rich or Die Tryin'” being one of the fastest selling albums in history, to creating one of the most influential deals in hip-hop with the sale of Vitaminwater, Jackson continues to break records. He also continues to extend his brand in other areas, including: footwear and apparel, fragrance, video games, publishing, headphones, vodka, health drinks, Casper mattresses and supplements.

Tyler Perry to split from OWN
Writer, director, producer, playwright and actor Tyler Perry has recently signed a long-term deal with Viacom that is certain to make the media conglomerate a stronger and more competitive television network for AfricanAmerican programming. Industry experts say the move represents a huge loss to the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). The deal, which starts in 2019 and will run through 2024, requires Perry to produce 90 episodes per year of original drama and comedy series. The content will be aired on BET, and other Viacom networks that include MTV, VH1, and Comedy Central. Given the success of Perry's other scripted shows like “The Have and Have Nots” and “If Loving You Is Wrong”, along with his “Madea” movie series, the deal will increase Viacom’s audiences and strengthen BET’s position as the leading home for black programming and scripted shows. Debra Lee, the long-time CEO of BET Networks said she is “delighted that we are
deepening our long-standing relationship with Tyler.” She continues, “BET cofunded Tyler’s very first feature film, we’ve aired his movies and many of his series with great success on our networks, and we’ve honored his tremendous talent with our signature awards. This partnership will allow us to work even more closely with him and bring more of his iconic content to our viewers.” For now, however, Tyler Perry Studios still has contractual obligations to Oprah Winfrey’s OWN. His contract requires him to continue to produce television content for OWN through May 2019, with series airing on the network through 2020. At the end of their exclusive relationship, OWN and Perry have the option to work together on a non-exclusive basis. Over the last 20 years, Perry has generated billions of dollars in revenue from seven original television series, 16 feature films and 20 plays. His films alone have grossed nearly $2 billion in revenue worldwide.

“The Making of The Five Heartbeats”
In the early 90s, actor, comedian, writer and director, Robert Townsend, went against every obstacle in Hollywood, relying on his faith, street smarts, and tenacity to bring his passion project, 1991’s ‘“The Five Heartbeats,” to big screens. The story of the rise and fall of an African American vocal group in the 1960s, the musical drama is the subject of Townsend’s new documentary, “Making The Five Heartbeats.” On Aug. 27 Fathom Events will present the theatrical release of Townsend’s “Making The Five Heartbeats” documentary in nearly 500 select AMC movie theaters nationwide for one day only at 7 p.m. local time, through Fathom's Digital Broadcast Network (DBN). For a complete list of theater locations, visit the Fathom Events website (theaters and participants are subject to change). In addition to the documentary, attendees will view an exclusive welcome from Townsend. “Robert Townsend’s ‘Making The Five Heartbeats’ was a movie that resonated deeply with many people and we’re pleased to bring his wonderful documentary to cinemas
nationwide,’ Fathom Events CEO Ray Nutt said. Townsend’s documentary chronicles his inspiring journey to present a new image of black people in cinema. A love letter to the movie's fans, as well as a master-class on filmmaking, “Making The Five Heartbeats” is told through behind-the-scenes footage and personal stories with the five stars of the film (Townsend, Michael Wright, Harry J. Lennix, Leon Robinson, Tico Wells), plus co-writer Keenen Ivory Wayans, and the film’s bad guy you love to hate, “Big Red” (Hawthorne James). “For all those fans that have seen the movie more than once, for those that ask me when I’ll will revisit ‘The Five Heartbeats’ with a sequel, for those that love the R&B/ soul groups that changed the musical landscape of America, and to all that want to dive deeper into this movie's creation, this documentary is for you,” Townsend said. “I’m humbled by your ongoing love for ‘The Five Heartbeats’ and proud to be bringing you ‘Making The Five Heartbeats.’” For more information and for participating theater box offices visit www.fatomevents.com.
