Mack's Party 4 Peace: Mark Your Calendar

It's no secret: gun violence is real. In Philly's African American neighborhoods it's reached pandemic porportions.

Philadelphia promoter Charlie Mack is doing his part to stop the violence with his Party 4 Peace weekend, slated to kick off July 21. Mack, the gentle giant who spent a decade as Will Smith's personal assistant, has enlisted his former boss and lovely wife Jada to host the event, which includes a march for peace, a party and a celebrity basketball game.

If there's one thing we've learned from past years it's that when Mack promises star power, he delivers. The list of glitterati coming to town reads like a who's who from UPN's primetime lineup, as well as A-listers such as Queen Latifah and Regina King.
