To celebrate Black History Month, we honor the world-renowned Kenny Gamble.
Kenny Gamble, legendary music producer and founder and CEO of Universal Companies, is a Philadelphia icon. Along with his partner, Leon Huff, they have produced over 170 gold and platinum records. With Universal Companies, Kenny Gamble has opened a restaurant, a bookstore, a mosque, low-income housing, and a charter school, all for the benefit of his city and neighborhood.
In January 2011, Gamble and Universal Companies were awarded a $500,000 Promise Neighborhoods Planning Grant from the U.S. Department of Education. In a press conference with School District of Philadelphia Superintendent and CEO Dr. Arlene Ackerman, Gamble announced the formation of the Promise Neighborhoods Initiative.
The Promise Neighborhoods Initiative is a partnership designed to bolster educational needs, assist in blight removal and offer new economic opportunities in the Point Breeze and Grays Ferry sections of South Philadelphia.
The School District of Philadelphia will develop a Promise Neighborhood Advisory Committee and corresponding subcommittees that will be compromised of professionals and community stakeholders to work on all aspects of schools.
Kenny Gamble and the School District of Philadelphia are committed to giving the young people and future leaders of Philadelphia a chance to grow, succeed and achieve greatness.
