Alicia Keys is certainly one of my music favorites. I have always enjoyed covering her concert appearances and her caring humanitarian projects such as " Keep A Child Alive", a program she implemented to provide needed medicines to children suffering from AIDS in Africa. She appeared with Bono on a special episode of Oprah to promote the AIDS program and to promote a song she recorded with Bono to encourage Africa.

This poster was circulated during the Obama For America (OFA) campaign for gun control. It popped up as my Facebook Memories post on Facebook today.
