HBO will be on hand to tape this history making performance. Gospel sensation The McClurkin's will entertain as well. The Mike James Day is a Grassroots effort that seeks to bring together Suffolk County residents, community leaders, city officials and businesses to develop ideas that assist with providing safe neighborhoods, eliminating health disparities and promoting healthy families. This free community event engages members of the community to provide resourceful information, food and live entertainment to a very diverse audience.
