Join us for an inspirational evening with artist/photographer Frank H. Jump.
Jump was given a few years to live in 1986, after being diagnosed with HIV. After enrolling in a Bachelors Degree Program in 1996, Jump started taking pictures of “fading ads” as a metaphor to his own survival. Through art, perseverance and hope, he continued to thrive and inspire others through his photography.
Jump became known in 1998 with an exhibition of his work at The N-Y Historical Society, and was featured on the cover of the New York Times Metro section in July 1998.

Jump has since entered the NYC Teaching Fellows Program and received his Masters of Science in Education at Brooklyn College in 2003. Recently, Jump received a second Masters of Science in Instructional Technology.

Obama Campaigns With 'Ex-Gay' McClurkin
Read Rod 2.0 and AMERICAblog.com. Why should I be surprised or expect any less from a Black politician? Covering all the bases? Perhaps Tim Hardaway should join the fray? Is Anita Bryant still alive? So many questions, so little qualified Democratic candidates. It’s scary to think that Rudy Giuliani is our best advocate. Let’s not forget that “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” and the Ban on HIV/AIDS Immigration occurred under the Clinton Administration. Hillary doesn’t even mention LGBTQ issues on her website. I guess she’s comfortable enough with her polls that she can sit on her duff on LGBTQ issues. Who is Mike Gravel?

Joni Has a Shine on Reverend Carlton Pearson
“Shine on Reverend Pearson
Who threw away
The vain old God…” Joni Mitchell, Shine
On November 19th, I’m scheduled to speak at a dinner and exhibition of my work at the Marble Collegiate Church on Fifth Avenue and 29th Street in Manhattan @ 6PM as part of their “GIFTS” program, an LGBT outreach:

In my search for a way to address issues of “faith” (in both Science & Religion) which I’ve always approached with skepticism and downright cynicism, I’ve become aware of the work of Reverend Carlton Pearson by way of Joni Mitchell. Mitchell addresses her own cynicism with the Church in her title track Shine on her recent CD with Hear Music/Starbucks. So I’ve done some Internet soul-searching and found these two YouTube pieces about a remarkable Pentecostal preacher who has had the audacity to give up Hell and embrace all “God’s children.”

But does She recycle plastic 4’s, 5’s & 6’s?
Will Carlton Pearson ‘Win’?

Where would the church coffers and the political campaign funds be without it?
