It’s important to review what they’ve learned in school so they don’t start the next year off behind. But when I mention academics during the summer time, my kids act like they want to die! “Mommy!

Allen Temple Baptist Church will hold a day of barbecue, music, free HIV testing and rallying to engage the community in fighting an epidemic that has killed millions and hit poor, black communities especially hard.

Also on the program will be a performance by local youth musicians The PopLyfe Project. Comedian and youth activist Donald Lacy will be master of ceremonies.
