Earle and Mike Gooding produced a three night run of one act plays called Safe Sex based on Harvey Fierstein's trilogy. Fierstein gave special permission to add Forget Him which he had never let anyone else produce. The objective was to raise money for the AIDS crisis, which after 10 years of incubation in big cities, was then reaching serious proportions and looming large in the consciousness of Richmond. Richmond Triangle Players (RTP) were formed from this first production.","In the early years, RTP focused on AIDS related shows including As Is by William Hoffman, Elegies for Angels, Punks, and Raging Queens by Bill Russell and Steven Dietz's Lonely Planet. The intention was to make the company and its productions inclusive, bringing in new directors, and to offer opportunities to aspiring artists and playwrights. RTP efforts at consciousness-raising have expanded to plays dealing with the Gay experience in many forms: breast cancer, diversity, aging and dying, and almost always dealing with relationships.","For other information about Richmond and HIV/AIDS, see Fan Free Clinic collection, M 344.\nFor other Virginia-area LGBTQ+ publications and newspapers, as well as other materials from the Richmond Triangle Players, see Central Virginia gay and lesbian publications collection, M 334.","This collection is mostly composed of photographic and ephemeral material relating to the various productions that Richmond Triangle Players (RTP) have undertaken from 1993-2007. This includes advertisements, programs, and photos, and reviews. Most of the reviews were done by representatives from either the Richmond Times Dispatch or Style Weekly Magazine. Despite the lack of administrative records, the collection is rich in other ways. There is material related to a broad range of topics, from AIDS and gay/lesbian related issues to local (Richmond) personalities. Some of the first productions staged by RTP dealt with the AIDS crisis; shows like Ten Percent Revue and Lisbon Traviata attempted to shed light on this important aspect of gay experience. Other shows with a focus on AIDS include Elegies for Angels, Punks, and Raging Queens, and Steve Moore's I Never Knew Oz Was in Color.","Homophobia is another theme that RTP address in their programming. The Richmond Triangle Players produced The Laramie Project in conjunction with another Richmond theatre group (Barksdale Theatre). The play focuses on the reactions of residents of the small town of Laramie, Wyoming to the brutal murder of gay college student, Matthew Shepard. Stop Kiss by Diana Son tells the story of a young woman who was attacked after she was seen kissing another woman.","Other prominent themes in RTPs productions include gay/lesbian relationships (The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told, The Judas Kiss, and Taken In) and growing up gay (Hysterical Blindness and I Never Knew Oz Was in Color). Despite a large number of productions devoted to gay/lesbian themes, RTP does not focus solely on these. My Left Breast is about one woman's struggle with breast cancer and The Last Session chronicles the experiences of a self-proclaimed sex addict. Important locals within the collection include comedian Steve Moore and actress Marchy Sue Carroll.","Another important element of this collection is several Virginia gay/lesbian periodicals (Out in Virginia, Out and About, The Virginia Gayzette). These date from throughout the 1990s. Items of interest contained within them include gay reaction to Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign, the impact of AIDS on the gay community, as well as guides to gay establishments in the Richmond and Hampton Roads areas.","VCU James Branch Cabell Library","Richmond Triangle Players (Theater company)","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Richmond Triangle Players records, 1993/2007"],"collection_ssim":["Richmond Triangle Players records, 1993/2007"],"level_ssm":["collection"],"level_ssim":["Collection"],"unitid_ssm":["M 347","/repositories/5/resources/162"],"unitid_tesim":["M 347","/repositories/5/resources/162"],"repository_ssm":["Virginia Commonwealth University, Cabell Library"],"repository_ssim":["Virginia Commonwealth University, Cabell Library"],"creator_ssm":["Richmond Triangle Players (Theater company)"],"creator_ssim":["Richmond Triangle Players (Theater company)"],"creator_corpname_ssim":["VCU James Branch Cabell Library","Richmond Triangle Players (Theater company)"],"creators_ssim":["VCU James Branch Cabell Library","Richmond Triangle Players (Theater company)"],"access_subjects_ssim":["Gay theater -- Virginia -- Richmond.","Theater -- Virginia -- Richmond.","Gay activists -- Virginia -- Richmond","Theatrical companies -- Virginia -- Richmond","Gay newspapers."],"access_subjects_ssm":["Gay theater -- Virginia -- Richmond.","Theater -- Virginia -- Richmond.","Gay activists -- Virginia -- Richmond","Theatrical companies -- Virginia -- Richmond","Gay newspapers."],"has_online_content_ssim":["false"],"extent_ssm":["3.69 Linear Feet 4 boxes (2 record cartons, 1 letter document box, 1 print box), and oversize materials in a map case drawer (not counted towards extent)"],"extent_tesim":["3.69 Linear Feet 4 boxes (2 record cartons, 1 letter document box, 1 print box), and oversize materials in a map case drawer (not counted towards extent)"],"date_range_isim":[1993,1994,1995,1996,1997,1998,1999,2000,2001,2002,2003,2004,2005,2006,2007],"accessrestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eCollection open for research.\u003c/p\u003e  "],"accessrestrict_heading_ssm":["Access Restrictions"],"accessrestrict_tesim":["Collection open for research."],"arrangement_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe contents of this collection are arranged chronologically by season, and according to the opening date of each production.

Other shows with a focus on AIDS include Elegies for Angels, Punks, and Raging Queens, and Steve Moore's I Never Knew Oz Was in Color.","Homophobia is another theme that RTP address in their programming. The Richmond Triangle Players produced The Laramie Project in conjunction with another Richmond theatre group (Barksdale Theatre). The play focuses on the reactions of residents of the small town of Laramie, Wyoming to the brutal murder of gay college student, Matthew Shepard. Stop Kiss by Diana Son tells the story of a young woman who was attacked after she was seen kissing another woman.","Other prominent themes in RTPs productions include gay/lesbian relationships (The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told, The Judas Kiss, and Taken In) and growing up gay (Hysterical Blindness and I Never Knew Oz Was in Color). Despite a large number of productions devoted to gay/lesbian themes, RTP does not focus solely on these. My Left Breast is about one woman's struggle with breast cancer and The Last Session chronicles the experiences of a self-proclaimed sex addict. Important locals within the collection include comedian Steve Moore and actress Marchy Sue Carroll.","Another important element of this collection is several Virginia gay/lesbian periodicals (Out in Virginia, Out and About, The Virginia Gayzette). These date from throughout the 1990s. Items of interest contained within them include gay reaction to Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign, the impact of AIDS on the gay community, as well as guides to gay establishments in the Richmond and Hampton Roads areas."],"corpname_ssim":["VCU James Branch Cabell Library","Richmond Triangle Players (Theater company)"],"names_coll_ssim":["Richmond Triangle Players (Theater

However, neither this council nor the two preceding it was the start of Girl Scouting in the area. There has been active Girl Scouting in Richmond prior to the official establishment of a council, though few records of the earliest days remain. Using Boy Scout manuals and enlisting the guidance of the director of the Richmond Boy Scouts, area girls recruited adult leaders and began informal scouting groups. In November 1913, the first official Girl Scout troop in Virginia, Pansy Troop Number 1, was formed in Highland Springs. Sponsored by the Women's Study Club for Right Living of Highland Springs, the troop was founded by Mrs. Kate G. Read and Mrs. Marion T. Read. This troop eventually split into two: Pansy Troop no. 1 and Pansy Troop no. 2, due to demand from local girls for membership.","The Girl Scouts of Richmond Council was formally organized on April 12, 1921 when the first Council Meeting was held at the Jefferson Hotel with 35 adult members, 11 troops, and 75 girls. The council received its official charter on May 10 of that year as the second chartered council in Virginia. Because of the Highland Springs troop's formation in 1913 and their inclusion in the Richmond Council, 1913 is commonly used for the date of inception for the Richmond Girl Scouts. In 1928, under the leadership of Commissioner Ruth Robertson McGuire, the Richmond Council was incorporated by the Girl Scouts of the United States of America.\nInitially, the Girl Scouts of Richmond was a racially exclusive organization, open only to white girls and women. Black Scouting in Richmond did not begin until 1932, when Troop 34, the first African American Girl Scout troop south of the Potomac River, was established. Mrs. Lena B. Watson of Virginia Union University (VUU) was instrumental in the group's formation  when she approached the Richmond council for permission to form a Black troop. Some council members  were supportive, but the council as a whole ultimately refused to consider it. The National Girl Scouting Headquarters became involved, forcing the Richmond council to allow the troop to form. In June 1932, the first Black troop formed at Hartshorn Hall at VUU with high school teacher Lavinia Banks as their leader.\nWhile Scouting in Richmond was developing, so too was Scouting in the southern part of Virginia. Hopewell formed its first troop in 1917, and many other troops in rural, semi-rural, and smaller urban areas followed. By 1942, the Petersburg Council organized, and the Hopewell Council formed in 1956, bringing many of the lone rural troops under the umbrella of a council. In 1958, the Hopewell Council merged with the Petersburg Council to form the Southside Council, bringing all troops in Southside Virginia Council services and support.","In response to rethinking the organization of Scouting in Virginia, the Richmond Council merged with the Southside Council to form the Commonwealth Council or the Girl Scouts of the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1962. During this time, troop integration became a reality for Virginia Girl Scouts. Integration began in 1963 with the Fort Lee troop. Black Scouts were allowed to participate at Camp Holly Dell for the first time, and by 1968 segregated troops were no more. \nOver the years, the councils that became the Commonwealth Council have provided programs and opportunities for girls to explore, learn, and build character through STEM, environmental stewardship, financial literacy, camping events, homemaking, and first aid. Citizenship was integral to Scouting from its inception. During World War I, Scouts entertained military troops at Fort Lee, and visited hospitals in morale-boosting calls. At least one scouting troop was so beloved for their service, that they were deemed honorary members of one of the units stationed at Fort Lee. In the Second World War, Scouts led scrap drives and defense preparedness activities. In addition to citizenship, Scouts raised awareness as well as money for their organization. In the earliest years of Scouting in Richmond, Scouts solicited donations by going door-to-door or having booths at fairs. In 1925, the Richmond Council became a member of the Community Chest, and could focus on other ways to fundraise. One successful fundraiser occurred when the troops brought John Philip Sousa and his band to Richmond, which raised a large amount of money for the organization and allowed the expansion of programs for the girls. The first cookie sale was in 1936, and approximately 11,694 pounds of cookies were sold, which allowed for expanded services, camping activities, and improved camping facilities. The annual event has been popular ever since, and continues to raise money for troop activities and support into the present day.","Camps have always been an important part of Girl Scouting. In the earliest years of the Richmond Council, white Girl Scouts used the Boy Scout camps for a few weeks every summer, but it soon became apparent that the girls needed their own camps. Eventually, the Richmond Council settled on a property in Bon Air, VA, that became Camp Pocahontas in 1928. Day Camps, held in conjunction with the YWCA, began in 1932.  Camp Pinoaka for Black Girl Scouts in Pocahontas State Park followed in 1936, and the Petersburg Council purchased Camp Holly Dell in Chesterfield in 1951. All three camps were eventually sold, and resources put into two other camps- Camp Kittamaqund, established in 1964 in the Northern Neck, and Camp Pamunkey Ridge in Hanover County. Smaller sleep-away camps, as well as day camps, were also scattered across the tri-city area and the state.","As of 2021, the Commonwealth Council, or the Girl Scouts of the Commonwealth of Virginia, is one of four councils in the state and serves over 17,500 girls and women in central Virginia, stretching from the cities of Emporia to Fredericksburg, with its headquarters in the greater Richmond area. It is governed by a Board of Directors, which is elected by delegates from the council membership. The Board is responsible for establishing policies, approving budgets, and setting the direction for the Council. The board consists of a Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Members-at-Large, and two girl board members. The CEO and girl members are ex-officio, non-voting members. All serve two-year terms, and may not serve more than three consecutive terms, though the Chair is eligible to serve an additional three successive terms in another position. The Board conducts its business as the entire unit and in smaller committees, such as the Executive Committee, Finance Committee, Membership, and Program Committees. An Annual Meeting of the Board is held, and the Board continues to meet throughout the year, as do committees, as needed.","This collection contains many different formats.

Sponsored by the Women's Study Club for Right Living of Highland Springs, the troop was founded by Mrs. Kate G. Read and Mrs. Marion T. Read.

Watson of Virginia Union University (VUU) was instrumental in the group's formation  when she approached the Richmond council for permission to form a Black troop. Some council members  were supportive, but the council as a whole ultimately refused to consider it.

Black Scouts were allowed to participate at Camp Holly Dell for the first time, and by 1968 segregated troops were no more. \nOver the years, the councils that became the Commonwealth Council have provided programs and opportunities for girls to explore, learn, and build character through STEM, environmental stewardship, financial literacy, camping events, homemaking, and first aid.

Smaller sleep-away camps, as well as day camps, were also scattered across the tri-city area and the state.","As of 2021, the Commonwealth Council, or the Girl Scouts of the Commonwealth of Virginia, is one of four councils in the state and serves over 17,500 girls and women in central Virginia, stretching from the cities of Emporia to Fredericksburg, with its headquarters in the greater Richmond area. It is governed by a Board of Directors, which is elected by delegates from the council membership. The Board is responsible for establishing policies, approving budgets, and setting the direction for the Council. The board consists of a Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Members-at-Large, and two girl board members. The CEO and girl members are ex-officio, non-voting members. All serve two-year terms, and may not serve more than three consecutive terms, though the Chair is eligible to serve an additional three successive terms in another position. The Board conducts its business as the entire unit and in smaller committees, such as the Executive Committee, Finance Committee, Membership, and Program Committees. An Annual Meeting of the Board is held, and the Board continues to meet throughout the year, as do committees, as needed."],"phystech_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThis collection contains many different formats.

The organizational structure consists of members, advisory councils, board of directors, and the executive committee as well as three task force groups: Hate Crimes Task Force, Development Task Force, and Legislative Task Force.","When the organization was founded, their immediate goal was to pursue the enactment of legislation that would ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in all aspects of life. Specific goals included: to reform the ABC laws discriminating against LGBT establishments, increase penalties for hate crimes, amend the humans rights law to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, and fight for the rights of victims of the AIDS epidemic. Materials in the collection document strategies employed by Equality Virginia to forward these goals, including the following: uniting LGBT organizations, educating Virginians, communicating to the media, lobbying the members of the State General Assembly and other governmental agencies, and encouraging grassroot response to legislative initiatives.","The organization has had multiple successes in changing Virginia legislation to include equal rights for LGBT Virginians. These successes include fighting the Virginia Housing Development Authority's \"Family Rule\" legislation, overturning legislation that allowed the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to revoke liquor licenses for homosexual establishments, along with defeating legislation that would ban gay adoption in Virginia.","The Equality Virginia records collection includes materials created and acquired by the organization in the course of carrying out its administrative, outreach, and advocacy activities. Materials include minutes, reports, correspondence, bylaws, clippings, newsletters, pamphlets, electronic records, and audio visual materials. The collection is of value as it includes legislative materials and news clippings pertaining to the Bottoms v. Bottoms case, news clippings documenting the HIV/AIDS epidemic, along with clippings of hate crimes that the Virginia LGBT community faced during the 1980s and 1990s.

His life's work is representative of many other like-minded individuals of his generation who were active in the cause for civil rights and equality in the last half of the 20th century. A native of Georgia, Lee's work during the height of the struggle for civil rights brought him to Virginia in the early 1960s, where he served as executive director of the Virginia Council on Human Relations. In the late 1960s and 1970s, he served as a consultant to various educational, urban, and community programs in North Carolina, Georgia, and other localities.","Lee was born in rural Polk County, Georgia, on February 21, 1922, to Mary Camp Lee (1918-1983) and Malbert Warren Lee (1898-1976). He had two younger siblings, a sister, Virginia (born 1924), and a brother, Charles, who died at age 2. The Lee family were poor tenant farmers, raising cotton and corn, living without electricity and running water. Lee attended elementary and high school in Polk County. The origin of the name \"Happy\" began when Lee's sister could not pronounce his first name. She eventually started calling him something that sounded like \"Happy.\" Lee was at Junior College when the name \"Happy\" began to be used by more than his family. One of his professors considered his name Heslip too hard to remember and asked him if he had a nickname. Lee recounted his sister calling him \"Happy.\" The professor preferred the nickname, and it stuck.","In 1941, Lee married Laura McClung (1924-2011) of Haralson County. They later had five children: Dwain, Glen, Joan, Stephen, and Laurie. Lee operated a dairy farm and grocery business in Polk County. Ordained to \"preach the Gospel\" in October 1949, Lee became the pastor of Antioch Baptist Church in July 1950. During his career, he served as pastor of nearly a dozen Baptist churches in Georgia and other states. At 29, Lee uprooted his young family and sold everything they owned to pursue higher education and see the wider world outside Polk County. Lee eventually received a B.A. Degree in Philosophy in June, 1954 from Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, and a Master of Divinity Degree in 1957 from Colgate-Rochester Divinity School. He became pastor of York Baptist Church, in York, New York, while working in a number of local community organizations. From 1957-1959, he returned to Georgia and served as Director of Religious Activities at Mercer University in Macon. Lee then served as pastor of First Baptist Church in Springfield, Virginia from 1959-1961. While in Virginia he became a member of the Board of Directors of the Virginia Council of Human Relations (VCHR), a biracial statewide organization that worked to foster communication and improve relations between Black and white people. Lee and his family moved to Richmond when he accepted the post as Executive Director of VCHR. He also served as a member of the Virginia State Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights from 1961-1964. Lee was extremely active as VCHR's Executive Director. He worked to increase the number of local VCHR groups and overall membership; he spoke to numerous groups in both small and large settings, as well as helped in the desegregation of dozens of public facilities in Virginia, and monitored actions in Prince Edward County, Virginia, where county officials had closed the pubic schools in an effort to block school desegregation.","In late 1964 Lee left Virginia and became the Executive Director of Salisbury-Rowan Community Service Council, Inc., in Salisbury, North Carolina and served as Chairman, North Carolina State Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. In 1966 he began serving as Vice President for Development at Shaw University in Raleigh and continued to be active in the fight for civil rights in the state. Beginning in 1968, he would serve for nearly ten years under a variety of titles acting as a consultant to several educational, urban, and community programs in North Carolina, Georgia, and other localities. Lee retired in 1978 in Cedartown, Georgia. In retirement he remained busy, operating a family jewelry store, Happy Lee Family Jewelers, and raising cattle. In the 1980s, he participated in the American Baptist Interim Minister Pprogram of the American Baptist Churches serving as \"Minister at Large\" in churches from New York to Utah. In the 1990s he chaired the 7th District (7 Counties) Democratic Party in Georgia and is credited with revitalizing the Polk County Democratic Party.","In 2004, the Gandhi Foundation of USA, which promotes the philosophies of both Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., chose Rev. Lee to be the first non-Indian recipient of the Gandhi Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his work in human relations. Rev. Lee received the Gandhi Lifetime Achievement Award on October 9, 2004 at a ceremony held at the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic District.His life was chronicled in 2005, in Happy Warrior: The Legend of Happy Lee by H.V. Shivadas. Lee died in 2011 and was survived by his wife, four of his children, and many grandchildren and great- grandchildren.","VHS.","The Heslip M. \"Happy\" Lee, consists primarily of correspondence, committee work, writings, and publications and newspaper clippings. The bulk of the material is from 1950-2003.  The correspondence section of the collection is rich with details on Lee's activities as executive deirector of the Virginia Council on Human Relations in the early 1960s and as a consultant in the late 1960s and 1970s to various educational, urban, and community programs in North Carolina, Georgia, and other localities.","The folders of correspondence may also contain reports and ephemera as Lee originally bound these materials together, and the arrangement he created has been maintained. Some copies of outgoing correspondence are contained with the outgoing correspondence as well. Subjects in the correspondence range from Civil Rights era issues including African American education in North Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia, the Virginia Council on Human Relations, the War on Poverty, and Prince Edward County, to religion, ministry, and Baptists. Notable correspondents and subjects include Wyatt Tee Walker, J. Rupert Picott, Rufus Harris, Virginia Lt. Governor Henry Howell, Georgia Senator Max Cleland, Willie Carter, and L. Francis Griffen.","Writings collected by and composed by Lee contain sermons, papers, and notes on various topics, many related to civil rights. Most materials are written by Lee himself.","Photographs in the collection are a mix of personal photographs of Lee and his family, and professional activities. Notable people in the photographs with Lee include Corretta Scott King, Bill Clinton, Max Cleland, and Jimmy Carter. There are also photographs of the Madison Avenue Baptist Church, the Happy Lee Family Jewelers store, and the NAACP convention in New York City.","There are no restrictions.","VCU James Branch Cabell Library","Lee, Heslip M.

His life's work is representative of many other like-minded individuals of his generation who were active in the cause for civil rights and equality in the last half of the 20th century. A native of Georgia, Lee's work during the height of the struggle for civil rights brought him to Virginia in the early 1960s, where he served as executive director of the Virginia Council on Human Relations. In the late 1960s and 1970s, he served as a consultant to various educational, urban, and community programs in North Carolina, Georgia, and other localities.","Lee was born in rural Polk County, Georgia, on February 21, 1922, to Mary Camp Lee (1918-1983) and Malbert Warren Lee (1898-1976). He had two younger siblings, a sister, Virginia (born 1924), and a brother, Charles, who died at age 2. The Lee family were poor tenant farmers, raising cotton and corn, living without electricity and running water. Lee attended elementary and high school in Polk County. The origin of the name \"Happy\" began when Lee's sister could not pronounce his first name. She eventually started calling him something that sounded like \"Happy.\" Lee was at Junior College when the name \"Happy\" began to be used by more than his family. One of his professors considered his name Heslip too hard to remember and asked him if he had a nickname. Lee recounted his sister calling him \"Happy.\" The professor preferred the nickname, and it stuck.","In 1941, Lee married Laura McClung (1924-2011) of Haralson County. They later had five children: Dwain, Glen, Joan, Stephen, and Laurie. Lee operated a dairy farm and grocery business in Polk County. Ordained to \"preach the Gospel\" in October 1949, Lee became the pastor of Antioch Baptist Church in July 1950. During his career, he served as pastor of nearly a dozen Baptist churches in Georgia and other states. At 29, Lee uprooted his young family and sold everything they owned to pursue higher education and see the wider world outside Polk County. Lee eventually received a B.A. Degree in Philosophy in June, 1954 from Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, and a Master of Divinity Degree in 1957 from Colgate-Rochester Divinity School. He became pastor of York Baptist Church, in York, New York, while working in a number of local community organizations. From 1957-1959, he returned to Georgia and served as Director of Religious Activities at Mercer University in Macon. Lee then served as pastor of First Baptist Church in Springfield, Virginia from 1959-1961. While in Virginia he became a member of the Board of Directors of the Virginia Council of Human Relations (VCHR), a biracial statewide organization that worked to foster communication and improve relations between Black and white people. Lee and his family moved to Richmond when he accepted the post as Executive Director of VCHR. He also served as a member of the Virginia State Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights from 1961-1964. Lee was extremely active as VCHR's Executive Director. He worked to increase the number of local VCHR groups and overall membership; he spoke to numerous groups in both small and large settings, as well as helped in the desegregation of dozens of public facilities in Virginia, and monitored actions in Prince Edward County, Virginia, where county officials had closed the pubic schools in an effort to block school desegregation.","In late 1964 Lee left Virginia and became the Executive Director of Salisbury-Rowan Community Service Council, Inc., in Salisbury, North Carolina and served as Chairman, North Carolina State Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. In 1966 he began serving as Vice President for Development at Shaw University in Raleigh and continued to be active in the fight for civil rights in the state. Beginning in 1968, he would serve for nearly ten years under a variety of titles acting as a consultant to several educational, urban, and community programs in North Carolina, Georgia, and other localities. Lee retired in 1978 in Cedartown, Georgia. In retirement he remained busy, operating a family jewelry store, Happy Lee Family Jewelers, and raising cattle. In the 1980s, he participated in the American Baptist Interim Minister Pprogram of the American Baptist Churches serving as \"Minister at Large\" in churches from New York to Utah. In the 1990s he chaired the 7th District (7 Counties) Democratic Party in Georgia and is credited with revitalizing the Polk County Democratic Party.","In 2004, the Gandhi Foundation of USA, which promotes the philosophies of both Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., chose Rev.
