LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHERS: Inside stories, reflections on happiness, and big celebrations

This special collector’s edition of Las Vegas Black Image Magazine is one you’ll want to keep in your personal library. 

Our exclusive cover story features Bill Whitfield, Michael Jackson’s Chief of Security during the final three years of the King of Pop’s life. Following the tremendous success of the box office hit “Michael,” Whitfield shares rare, firsthand memories and behind-the-scenes experiences that offer readers an intimate look at the man behind the legend — revealing moments that were never captured on the big screen. 

We once again thank our outstanding contributing writers for their consistent editorials that continue to inspire, inform, and educate our loyal readers. We also extend our sincere appreciation to our executive publishing team for their dedication to delivering Las Vegas Black Image Magazine excellence each month since 2008. 

Many Juneteenth celebrations are captured pictorially throughout this issue, along with coverage of The Links, Incorporated’s 50th Anniversary celebration. 

Our Living section is alive with ideas to enhance your summer — from a delicious BBQ sauce recipe and cultural home décor to fragrant landscaping that adds beauty and character to your home’s exterior. 

We also shine a special spotlight on the Queen of Las Vegas Local Entertainment, licensed promoter Anthona McNeil, whose contributions to the city’s entertainment community have made a lasting impact. 

Thank you to all of our community residents who participated in Community Speaks and shared what puts a smile on their faces. Your voices continue to make this feature one of our readers’ favorites. 

There is so much more to discover in this issue, and we are confident you will enjoy every page.

Rise,
