All members are culturally competent and have a passion for people of various ethnics. We strive for humanity as a whole to come together in peace and began to interact and engage in a fun social setting that is not bias of diversity.
PURPOSE
The purpose of our (BMCT) DIVERSITY ENTERTAINMENT is to confront the barriers and stigmas of people of different cultures not having the option of being sociably and to make social change.
BACKGROUND
(BMCT), ten African American men established DIVERSITY ENTERTAINMENT, in 1999. These ten men were men were highly active in different communities within the city of Baltimore. Among these ten men, they were always interacting within their individual communities to advocate and provide social activities for the children and the adults. In the summer of 1999, it was one member of the ten mens idea to formulate a group and to possibly come together as a whole and present our ideas collectively to the city of Baltimore. As a result of this idea, BMCT decided to give a free city wide cook out in Leakin Park (off Windsor Mill Rd), which has a reputation of not being safe. However, the cook out was a great success, there was activities there that catered to all ethnical children of the city for the beginning of the day and the remainder of the day was dedicated to all ethnical adults of the city. This event was the start of our success. There were over 1,500 people who attended and there were no incidents that occurred while this event took place. It also changed the mind-set of people about the safety ness of Leakin Park. As a result of that success, the city- wide cook out has grown to be an annual event for people within Baltimore. From that point, the vision became to light. We created a friendly/loving milieu to all races for the mature crowd to attend through out the city at different venues. Every event that we planned was a success and our reputation was driven on safety ness. We felt that the safety ness was created through the holistic approach that was implemented before we would allow people to enter the buildings of our event. This holistic approach was prayer. Through the seven years of our success, we have never done an event, with out the faith of God, which made our events successful. We have done fund raisers for people in our communities, Block parties, Family cook outs, Formal Parties, Birthday Parties, Clothing Drives for the Homeless, Fight Parties, Super Bowl Parties, Promotional for Hire etc.
Our passion for people made us to continue to create social recreation for people within the community, but we still were not content with our success because we wanted more. We felt the need to recruit other men from other ethnic groups to be more creative and to find a sense of harmony among different races. As a result of recruiting other men, our group consists of African-American men, Latino men, Caucasian men, and Asian men.
