Singer and actress Vanessa Williams will be hosting a benefit concert at the Schomburg Center, on April 24, to raise funds to support Black and Latino students in the college of visual and performing arts at Syracuse University.

The concert entitled, “Our Time Has Come,” will be the first time she will be hosting the event. Williams, also a graduate of the Syracuse’s College of Visual and Performing Arts, said that she would be singing some songs that she did at Syracuse and some of her hits, like “Save the Best for Last,” and “The Way That You Love.”
