Wyclef Hits D.C., Makes Dignitaries Dance

On Wednesday, October 19, 2011, Grammy Award winning artist Wyclef Jean showed his support for the US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants at their 100th Anniversary Gala in Washington, D.C. with a special performance. Held at the Andrew Mellon auditorium, Wyclef performed all of his hits as well as some new songs. There was actually a point in the night during Wyclef’s performance where he challenged the entire crowd of Ambassadors, Delegates, and celebrities who attended the gala to a dance off. The crowd was loving it so much that a circle immediately formed and there were people dancing the night away. It was quite a site to see.

The 100^th Anniversary Gala was hosted by Cynne Simpson, local ABC News Anchor, along side comedian/tv personality Chris Spencer. The evening included a silent and live auction, an award presentation to Sen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Senator Edward Kennedy for their support for refugee development (Susan Eisenhower accepted on her grandfather).
