AFROPUNK: A Weekend Of Live Music, Good Vibes And Black Culture
In its 12th year of bringing a myth busting music festival to people of all walks of life, Afropunk certainly didn’t disappoint this year. The music festival, which started in 2005 with less than 50 attendees according to those close to the festival, lured over 60,000 revelers to come out to Commodore Barry Park in Brooklyn, NY over the weekend to celebrate a healthy dose of African American musical culture. Organizers say the festival started as an attempt to debunk the myth surrounding African Americans and their involvement in the Punk/Rock scene and music genre.Read Our Featured Story Now

Welcome to ePluribusAmerica
A PUBLICATION FOCUSED UNIQUELY ON AMERICAN CULTURE
If it's 24/7 news you're after, you won't find it here. ePluribusAmerica is an American culture magazine that features cultural and political news and information from around the country.
ePluribus: America is so named, as a contemporary phrase that incorporates the original concept of our nation's motto, expanding it to the many cultural and political components that come together to make up America. This publication aims to increase exposure of America's diverse and changing culture. ePa's founder and editor, Jeanette Lenoir, is an award-winning journalist, former congressional staff, news anchor and radio talk show host.
E Pluribus Unum, Latin for, “Out of Many, One,” is the motto of the United States, located on the seal of the President and on all quarters. Traditionally, the understood meaning of the phrase was that out of many states (or colonies) emerge a single nation. However, in recent years its meaning has come to suggest that out of many peoples, races, religions and ancestries has emerged a single people and nation—illustrating the concept of the “melting pot”. ePa’s mission is aimed at better defining what American Culture is through storytelling, and capturing its evolution, one story at a time, in an ever-changing world.
