At Porchlight, we think of homeownership as a tool to promote safety, stability, and long-term legacy in our neighborhoods.

But a tool only works if people can actually access it.

So… can they?

Crisis or Dream will dig into that question and more.

🗓 April 16 | 6 PM
📍 Alabama Contemporary, Downtown Mobile

Our city was born to celebrate, and the Excelsior Band has provided the soundtrack to those celebrations for more than 142 years. Hosea London has been part of that grand tradition for the last 50 years as a member of the group, and he’s been the band’s leader and manager for the last quarter of a century.

Hosea is a kind, generous, and talented soul, and he has invested so much of his time and talent into keeping the traditions of jazz music and the Excelsior Band alive and thriving in the City of Mobile.

It is only fitting that this Fat Tuesday, February 17, 2026 is also recognized as Hosea London Day in the City of Mobile. Happy Mardi Gras! 🎺
