SUMMARY:Jaja’s African Hair Braiding - A Broadway Hit
DESCRIPTION:May 17 – June 15 | Mandell Weiss Theatre \nBy Jocelyn Bioh | Directed by Whitney White \n\n\n“Hot and hilarious… prepare for laughter.” The New York Times \nDirect from Broadway\, this dazzling production welcomes you into Jaja’s bustling shop in Harlem\, where a lively and eclectic group of West African hair braiders create masterpieces on the heads of neighborhood women. During one sweltering summer day\, love will blossom\, dreams will flourish and friendships will be tested. When their uncertain circumstances boil over\, this tight-knit group must confront what it means to be outsiders in the place they call home. \nThe Guardian called it “rapturous\,” and The New York Times raved\, “full of treasurable moments\, when the drama feels tightly woven with the comedy.” Featuring humor as entertaining as its characters\, this extraordinary Tony Award-winning play by Ghanaian-American playwright Jocelyn Bioh celebrates courage\, community and the indomitable spirit of women. Jaja’s is a must-see for San Diego.

SUMMARY:Fort Rosecrans Memorial Day
DESCRIPTION:The Fort Rosecrans Memorial Day celebration is one of San Diego’s largest and most celebrated memorials dedicated to our fighting men and women. On this day we honor all of our fallen soldiers and remember them for their ultimate sacrifice to our country. \n\n\nThe Fort Rosecrans Memorial Day Committee is comprised of War Veterans Organizations\, their Auxiliaries and patriotic groups that have conducted the Memorial Services at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in San Diego for over 100 years. \nA burial ground before 1847\, this graveyard became an Army Post cemetery in the 1860s. It is the final resting place for most who fell at San Pasqual in 1846\, and for the USS Bennington victims of 1905. At one time\, it had become known as Bennington National Cemetery. It became Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in 1934 and was placed under the Veterans Administration National Cemetery System in 1973. \nThis cemetery is also a California registered historical landmark\, #55\, first registered on December 6\, 1932. \nFort Rosecrans National Cemetery is at capacity for casketed remains\, but space is still available for cremated remains. Miramar National Cemetery\, considered a 313-acre annex of Fort Rosecrans\, was dedicated in January 2010 and opened for burials the following November.
