In homage to Afrika, the music of People of Goodwill is based around the drum and always reflects a deep respect for the power of rhythm. The music of People of Goodwill freely uses the wide variety of popular music styles, including Jazz, Funk, Rock, Reggae, Rhythm & Blues, Latin, Brazilian and Afro-Cuban that have evolved as a result of the Afrikan Diaspora - the movement over the past 500 years of people of Afrikan origin to all parts of the Americas and the other continents of the world. The peoples and cultures of Afrika, Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas commingle today in these musical styles, and People of Goodwill takes special pride in being a band that reflects this unique blend of styles and cultures in both its music and its membership. Through its "Music of the Afrikan Diaspora" People of Goodwill seeks to communicate and share a positive message with all of humanity.
The band is composed of accomplished musicians from various cultural backgrounds.
The members of People of Goodwill are:
Congas/Percussion - Leon Alexander
Drums/Percussion - Peter George, Sr.
Flute - Melvin Jackson
Keyboards - Bill Mocarsky
Bass - David Stoltz

Hartford Public Library’s history spans more than 235 years. We can trace its very beginnings to the Library Company, formally organized in 1774 by a few subscribers to purchase a "collection of useful and religious books". And now, the library is a national leader in redefining the urban public library in the 21st century as an innovative and stimulating place where people can learn and discover, explore their passions, and find a rich array of resources that contribute to a full life.
