However\, it was in a Los Angeles comedy club where Blackson got his big break. Blackson was performing at the Comedy Store where actor/director Ice Cube was in attendance to see comedian Mike Epps perform.

Blackson’s outstanding and unforgettable performance in the smash hit comedy\, Next Friday\, drew praise and a fan following like no other. \nAfter his scene-stealing performance in Next Friday\, fans wanted more\, and in 2005\, Blackson did not disappoint. He released his top-selling sketch comedy CD entitled\, Modasucka\, Welcome to America. With Blackson\, the work never stops. Along with special guest appearances on some of the hottest music videos\, Blackson stole the stage on P. Diddy’s Bad Boys of Comedy on HBO and starred in a commercial for the Chappelle Show on Comedy Central. There’s no mistaking Blackson for any other comedian when he takes the stage. \nAnd what about those Dashikis? When he takes the stage\, clad in the finest Dashikis the Motherland has to offer\, “The African King of Comedy” is born! Along with his film and television endeavors\, Blackson continues to entertain his fans as the headliner for live shows at comedy clubs\, universities\, and special events\, bringing his one-of-a-kind\, must-see stand-up performance to audiences all across the country and around the world.

Between 1902 and 1951 the hospital treated over 275\,000 patients. Ellis Island itself operated from 1892 to 1954. \nThis collaborative project is an ode to the 275\,000 patients who passed through its halls and the enduring stories they carried. Drawn to its abandoned rooms\, paint-peeled walls\, and shadowed traces of lives left behind\, two artists developed their distinct approaches. \nLeland Smith’s photographs\, rich in texture\, color\, and tone\, suggest the wonder of a newly arrived immigrant’s first glimpse of an unfamiliar world. Julia Arstorp’s black-and-white collages and diptychs turn toward memory by weaving narratives of the past to reveal the hospital’s symbolic presence. \nTogether\, their complementary perspectives invite visitors to consider the Ellis Island Immigration Hospital not only as a place where people arrived\, but also as a place where stories began and still remain. Free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
