Weldon Irvine's "The Amadou Project" 
A CD that was recorded following the brutal murder of Amadou Diallo 
by the New York Police Department. Weldon stated that he was tired 
of black people being gunned down for no reason and had to let
the world know about the injustices on people of color. 
This CD is a must have. As you know, Weldon Irvine Jr. passed away
on April 9, 2002. For those who were able or not able to attend 
funeral services for Weldon Irvine Jr. the family requested 
that there not be a viewing out of respect for his son 
Weldon Irvine III (a minor). However, you can now view Weldon Irvine Jr. 
during the memorial. You can also see him accepting an award from 
Jazz Saxophonist Harold Ousley.
