Gospel artist Kevin LeVar appeared at the
White House in Washington to perform in celebration of
African-American Music Appreciation Month last week.

LeVar’s appearance marked the
launch of his year-long Forgive and Live Campaign, reaching all 50
states with the goal of restoring families, repairing friendships,
strengthening communities and empowering people through the simple act
of forgiveness.

LeVar’s 90-minute performance began in the Grand Foyer, but when the
gathering crowd continued to grow, the White House staff moved everyone
to the East Room, the largest room in the White House, in order to
accommodate the audience.

“It was amazing to see the crowd react in a way you would not
necessarily expect in a place such as the White House,” says LeVar’s
manager Shondale Bostick. “White House staff and visitors alike were
caught up in the music, and they clapped, cried, lifted their hands and
sang along. It was powerful.”

LeVar performed songs from his debut album Let’s Come Together,
including “He Reigns,” “Hiding Place,” “I’ll Say Yes” and his hit single
“A Heart That Forgives,” which has created a movement to inspire one
million acts of forgiveness.

“Being able to go to the White House, and to have the opportunity to
share my music and especially the message of forgiveness, is a dream
come true,” says LeVar. “It was beautiful to see the diverse faces in
the crowd and how they all connected with the simple message of the
power of forgiveness.”

The White House performance follows LeVar’s May 5 appearance at the
National Day of Prayer Congressional Briefing on Capitol Hill, where his
performance of “A Heart That Forgives” led to a standing ovation from
an audience that included Congressman John Conyers, Congressman Trent
Franks, Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, Congresswoman Yvette Clarke and
Senate Chaplain Barry Black.

The year-long Forgive and Live Campaign will make its first public stop
on Sunday, July 10, at Jericho City of Praise in Landover,
Md. The free event will include performances by special guests
including gospel legends CeCe Winans and Hezekiah Walker, former
Commissioned member Marcus Cole, Coco Brother and many more.
