PRESIDENT STEELE AND MUSIC PRODUCER GATHER HUNDREDS TO MARCH AND RALLY AT THE GEORGIA STATE CAPITOL

Civil Rights Leader Dr. Charles Steele, Jr. and Multi-Platinum Producer Kevin “Khao” Cates led a march and rally Sunday, November 2nd in Atlanta, Ga. The march and rally was the culmination of the Million March 2 Vote Campaign, a non-partisan nationwide effort that calls on civic minded organizations to encourage their members and constituents to vote.

The campaign targeted people that in the past may have never voted or been unaware of the steps to take to register to vote. The March began at 2:00pm and the Rally at 3:00pm. Participants assembled at Morris Brown Herndon Stadium at 12:30pm and marched down Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd to the Georgia State Capitol.
“It appears that the younger generations have lost sight of the struggles and obstacles that preceded them,” said Dr. Steele. “We want to rekindle that spirit in our youth and encourage everyone to use the right that so many have died for.”
“Our generation takes a lot for granted,” Khao said. “There is so much to learn from one another and it’s way overdue. There is lack of participation from us. I asked myself: who will be our leaders of tomorrow if we don’t make a stand and vote?”

Dr. Steele and Khao will continue working together with the Bridging da Gap Movement. Bridging da Gap is an International project meant to bring generations together to share information and create a society conducive to progress and awareness. Dr. Steele and Khao see the need to create a platform for the unification of youth and great leaders of the older generation. The project includes various recording artists joining together to record an entire album with proceeds going to benefit Youth Programs and development of educational programs that promote such growth. The first single launching this collaborative movement is titled “Bridging da Gap” featuring Khao and Dr. Steele. Bridging da Gap will include curriculum that address the problems faced by today’s youth, with solutions that spark discussions between the generations to permit an exchange of information.
Dr. Steele and Khao performed their riveting and powerful song at the Rally on Sunday. Celebrity guests were also in attendance and performed. Community leaders, politicians, hip-hop artists, professional athletes and music executives also joined Dr. Steele and Khao in the march.
