From the show beginning with dancers in Nike swaying to Sly and The Family Stone’s “Family Reunion” to Undra Celeste’s models rocking steady to Aretha Franklin to Kimberly Goldson reminding us that Brooklyn goes hard the musical moments were as unapologetically black as the organization. To top it all off DJ Olivia Dope played the crowd out to Luther Vandross’ “Never Too Much.” Iconic.
