Canadian Rapper Duane (D.O) Gibson School Tour

Canadian rapper Duane (D.O.) Gibson, an Ontario based motivational speaker and certified artist will be celebrating Black History Month by embarking on the Stay Driven, Black Canadian 36-date school tour. Each show is a one-hour assembly that combines speaking with live performances to engage the audience while delivering a solid message.  
 
Stay Driven, the Black Canadian presentation specializes in Black Canadian History.  D.O. talks about Viola Desmond who stood up for her rights by sitting down at a segregated movie theatre in Nova Scotia. Desmonds’ likeness is now featured on the Canadian ten-dollar bill. He talks about freedom fighter Josiah Henson, a slave that travelled the Underground Railroad for freedom in Canada, became a land owner, and helped other free and empower other blacks.  The presentation is interactive, and he gets the students rapping along to a negro spiritual.  Finally, he calls upon volunteers to play a game of “name that tune” to highlight black music contributors.
 
Doubling as a successful record label executive and a socially active community ambassador, D.O. Gibson sees no limitations when chasing his goals and is bound only by the hours in a day.

D.O. Gibson will be doing a show in connection with the School Tour at the Rivoli the afternoon of February 16th, 2019.  Click here for more information and to purchase tickets.
