MJ are performing continuously at educational assembly concerts which, were designed by award winning educator/multimedia producer: David Musial, (a.k.a. Dr.D). Several of the schools played the song "We, Are, Drug, Free!" in the classrooms prior to the concert day and the audience started to sing the chant BEFORE MJ even took the stage! MJ have been invited to give the same assembly concerts all of next year to schools throughout the New York City area. In April of 2002, MJ will perform at the world famous “Liberty Science Center” for the United Nations World Health Day event.
In February, 2002, MJ recorded a new song called “Brave New American Heroes”.


It is a tribute to the victims of September 11, a “song of hope”. An ensemble of singers and musicians joined in the recording sessions and MJmade a video for it at Ground Zero which has already aired on their live TV show in NYC. The live performance premiered for the United Nations ‘World health Day” event at the world renowned Liberty Science Center Concert on April, 6 2002 and has received awesome reviews and made a “lasting impression”. The Medina's were asked to give a free concert for children who lost family members at the WTC at a special summer camp in the Catskills called "Camp Haze" and they sang it there as well. Go MJ!

Many suggested that the song “We, Are, Drug, Free!" become an anthem for D.A.R.E. One World Artists Management has received 30 to 50 appearance requests from this event.
