SUMMARY:Leroy Robinson Southern Soul and Soul Music Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Elkhart Chapter of the Indiana Black Expo is a 501C-3 organization\, has been a pillar of the Elkhart community for more than 50 years!  Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2022. Its programming and events has a long\, rich  history of impacting our region. \nIn 2022 The Elkhart Chapter of Indiana Black Expo lost its founding father Leroy Robinson to an unexpected death. Leroy’s passing left a void in this community that may never be filled. Leroy was the true definition of a trailblazer and a city legend. \nThat same year the Elkhart Chapter of the Indiana Black Expo created the Leroy Robinson Southern Soul & Soul Music Festival Elkhart IBE decided in honor of Leroy’s love of music and also a celebration of his life. It was very clear that a continuation of Leroy’s Soul Music Festivals that was organized under the umbrella of the Elkhart Chapter Indiana Black Expo was very appropriate. The Elkhart Chapter of Indiana Black Expo feels that there are no events of its kind in the Michiana area and has decided to make this an annual event. \nLeroy Robinson was employed by the city of Elkhart as the building commissioner for 16 years until his retirement. He was a member of the St. James A.M.E. Church and\, along with his wife Beatrice\, founded H.O.M.E.\, an organization whose purpose was to assist individuals in purchasing homes. He also helped found the Elkhart Chapter of the Black Expo\, which he remained very active until his death. \nMonday\, August 12Special Friends with Special Needs Family DayMcNaughton Park Pavilion – 701 Arcade Ave.3PM – 7PMAs the Indiana Black Expo LLC Elkhart Chapter begins Leroy Robinson Week August 12th please join us at McNaughton Park as we celebrate or Special Friends With Special Needs.This is a FREE community event providing a fun filled afternoon of games\, food\, music\, entertainment and much more! \nThursday\, August 15African American Arts & Culture PavilionThe Lerner Theatre – 410 S Main Street4PM – 8PMThe African American Arts & cultural pavilion aims to provide a platform for artists to express their creativity\, share their unique perspectives\, and celebrate the richness of Black culture through various forms of art.
