use the White House to highlight great American artists to promote a sense of national and cultural unity.

Created by P.S. on October 05, 2011

There are too many things that divide this nation. But there are things Americans can agree on. One of those things is Johnny Cash! An American icon who transcended politics. His song "The Man in Black" is an anthem for compassion. He is a standard of national pride, unity, and commitment.
Other artists that we believe fall under that standard include Louis Armstrong and Fred McFeely Rogers.
These were loving and committed people who have, through there music, brought this nation closer and given us all a broader vision of the world.
Your administration can shine a light on voices like these through regular White House concerts where artists of a broad spectrum of genres would interpret his songs, pay tribute, and uses the lights of there imaginations to help us find common ground.
