Title
 
To congratulate Ron Pitts, of Ujima Theatre, for the Premier showing of "Love and Street Corner Harmony" on this 14th day of November, 2003.
 
 
Body
 
WHEREAS, Mr. Pitts wrote, produced, and directed this critically important production of "Love and Street Corner Harmony" to remind us of a time when music was music and people gathered in harmony on the street corners of America simply to have a good time and to fellowship; and
 
WHEREAS, education has always been a priority of Ujima Theatre,  this production is timely, as it seeks to teach and reflect a historical period between the 1960's thru 1980's that is in danger of losing its significance among those born into the 1980's and beyond; and
 
WHEREAS, "Love and Street Corner Harmony," will send audiences home with an indelible learning experience that will enhance their appreciation for this remarkable period of American history; now, therefore,
 
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLUMBUS:
 
That we hereby congratulate Ron Pitts, founder and CEO, of Ujima Theatre for this production of "Love and Street Corner Harmony."
