Eubie Blake, name sake of the cultural center where the filmmaking workshops will be held, lived to be 100 years old and is a legend who invented the music genre Ragtime Jazz. A musical genius, Eubie started playing the organ at the age of four. By age 20 he was playing in the first colored club in Baltimore owned by boxing champ Joe Grans. From there he went into filmmaking with three projects to show for it – all now among the Maurice Zouary Film Collection at the Library of Congress. He garnered a Grammy Award nomination for the album release “The 86 Years of Eubie Blake.” He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom at age 98 and eight honorary Doctorate degrees from such universities as Howard, University of Maryland, Rutgers, Dartmouth and Morgan State University. The center is also a museum that houses some of the Eubie Blake Collection. It brings artists together and has a goal to educate youth in the arts, science, technology, engineering and math.
