He has performed on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and the Hip Hop Awards on BET Network. He is an artist focused on caring for people\, providing messages of hope and inspiration. He feels\, “Music doesn’t need to be categorized. It just needs to be good.” On Feb. 10\, 2017\, he will provide some of that good music and provide a lecture revealing how he has overcome the challenges in his life and is impacting an entire generation-building community one person at a time. His lecture and performance will be held at the Bob Hope Theatre in Stockton at 7 p.m. Tix Presale is on Sept. 28\, 2016\, General Public Sale is Sept. 30.

Woodson founded the celebration he called “Negro History Week” in 1926. Dr. Woodson selected the second week of February for the celebration because it fell between the birthdays of the famed orator and abolitionist Frederick Douglass and President Abraham Lincoln. In 1976\, the celebration expanded to include the entire month of February. Today\, Black History Month is celebrated across the United States by people of all ethnic and social backgrounds. At Pacific\, it is observed during a monthlong celebration in February organized by Pacific’s Black History Month Planning Committee.
