Sickle Cell Anemia Benefit Concert Planned
A benefit concert to raise awareness of alternative treatments for the blood disorder sickle cell anemia will be held Sunday afternoon at the Elegant Manor in the West Adams district. Sickle cell anemia affects more then 50,000 African Americans.
“The whole purpose of the event is to bring attention to drugless therapy to heal and stop the fatalities caused by sickle cell,” said Somayah Peaches Moore Kambui of the Crescent Alliance Self-Help for Sickle Cell organization. “Ninety-nine percent of our problem is the lack of nutritional balance.”
The concert will be held from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. at 3115 W. Adams Blvd. It will feature Horace Tapscott, the legendary bebop, jazz, and blues musician; the Watts Prophets and the reggae group Dubbers of Selassie I. Admission is $12.
