VIP celebrates #BlackHistory by honoring Johnny Pa

VIP celebrates #BlackHistory by honoring Johnny Pacheco, the Dominican-born bandleader who co-founded a record label that turned salsa music into a worldwide sensation. Pacheco's Fania Records began in Harlem and the Bronx, selling salsa music from the trunks of cars before becoming a global hit. Pacheco collaborated with musicians who were stirring jazz, rhythm and blues, funk and other styles, into traditional Afro-Cuban music. Pacheco died earlier this month at 85.

Known as the “Father of Black History,” Dr. Ca

Known as the “Father of Black History,” Dr. Carter G. Woodson (1875-1950) authored numerous scholarly books on the positive contributions of Black people to the development of America. He reached out to schools and the public through the establishment of several key organizations and founded Negro History Week (precursor to Black History Month). His message was that Black people should be proud of their heritage and that other Americans should also understand it.

VIP celebrates #BlackHistory with a tribute to Ms.

VIP celebrates #BlackHistory with a tribute to Ms. Cicely Tyson, who was born in East Harlem in 1924 and became an acting legend for her incredible roles on television, film, and the Broadway stage. Ms. Tyson would often say she could not afford the luxury of just being an actress. She chose to use her career as a platform to challenge racism and sexism and break down barriers for other Black women. Ms. Tyson died January 28, 2021. A public viewing will be held on February 15 (10am-6pm) at Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem. COVID-19 safety protocols will be in place. 🙏

VIP kicks off Black History Month with a salute to Dr. Kizzmekia S. Corbett, a leading scientist at the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Corbett helped develop the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, the same vaccine VIP has administered to our patients.

To get vaccinated at VIP, please pre-register on our website (vipservices.org) and we will reach out to you as soon as you are eligible, and as soon as we have more vaccines available. We appreciate your patience.

While you are waiting to be vaccinated, PLEASE continue to monitor your health daily, get tested for COVID-19, wear your masks properly, stay 6 feet apart, avoid large crowds, wash your hands, clean and disinfect, and cover your coughs and sneezes.
