Hawthorne Series Premiere Tonight on TNT 9:00 PM EST/8:00 PM CST

Jun 16, 2009

Don’t forget to tune in tonight at 9:00 PM EST on TNT for the series premiere of Hawthorne, starring Jada Pinkett Smith, who plays Christina Hawthorne.
Character Bio:

Christina Hawthorne (Jada Pinkett Smith) is the tough-yet-caring Chief Nursing Officer at Richmond Trinity Hospital. She prides herself on standing up for her patients and preventing them from falling through the cracks of hospital bureaucracy. She’s a hero who acts out of good intentions, even if she occasionally violates hospital policy or protocol in the process. But being there for her patients means she isn’t always there for herself and her daughter. She is trying to move on after her husband’s death, but she hasn’t really had time to grieve because of her work duties. Her relationship with her teenage daughter can at times be strained, especially when Christina puts the hospital first. Still, she is a loving mother with a creative way of handling family issues.

New Exhibition "Audacious Freedom: African Americans in Philadelphia 1776-1876"

Jun 12, 2009

The African American Museum in Philadelphia presents a new exhibition “Audacious Freedom: African Americans in Philadelphia 1776 – 1876”, premieres on June 19, 2009. Here is a snippet of the press release:

“Audacious Freedom gives us the opportunity to celebrate the richness of the culture and experiences of people of African descent”, explained AAMP’s President and CEO Romona Riscoe Benson. “Philadelphia was an economically strong, socially dynamic and culturally cosmopolitan environment during this period. People of color played a vital role as entrepreneurs, craftsmen and advocates for social justice. Telling their story is a critically important part of the Museum’s mission and responsibility to this community and to the overall fabric of the role of African Americans in American history. ”

The museum is located at 701 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106 Ph: 215-574-0380
