2002

Councilmember Davis presents Williamson Henderson the Award for S.V.A.




   



 
 
Program for "Holiday Gay Pride"
Created and Sponsored by Councilmember Jed Davis




Williamson did not want Jed the public official misrepresented by anyone.
After Williamson showed Jed all of the misspellings and typos (i.e., comma missing
after "12th", missing comma after "Plaza", missing "s" on "organization", "artist"
should be capitalized and plural, after "Bisexual" should be the word "and", etc.) on
this program page, Jed firmly (to say the least) decided and declared to Williamson:  
"Next year, I'm having YOU do the entire thing -- everything"!
 



STONEWALL Veterans' Association ("SVA") is clearly the chief recipient from J.E.D.

                               THE JAMES E. DAVIS FOUNDATION

                    The James E. Davis Foundation is a grass-roots, philanthropic organization
                      established in 2003 by Geoffrey A. Davis, and his mother Thelma Davis, in
                     an effort to continue the significant endeavors of their late, beloved brother
                   and son, James E. Davis. The focal point of the foundation is to eradicate
                  violent crime in inner-city communities, encourage citizen participation in
                  community and political affairs, promote equality and inclusion, and provide
                 progressive programs that not only empower citizens, but also elevate their
                    minds, shape their lives and inspire their futures.  The foundation aims to be
                  a catalyst for change in the communities it serves and in the lives it touches.

                 Accordingly, Jed's younger brother Geoffrey A. Davis decided to carry on his

                 brother's fight for peace and harmony and immediately mobilized supporters in a
                mission to push forward. With profound respect and admiration for his brother's
                 works, Geoffrey has kept James' vision alive.  To date, the foundation has made
               tremendous strides in community enrichment by connecting citizens with
              opportunities for educational and career advancement through its GED
              preparation, computer training, and job placement services.  The foundation has
              united the community with events such as the Annual James E. Davis Stop Violence
              Family Day Peace Walk/Concert, and The Annual James E. Davis Multicultural
            Peace Concert/Memorial.  Recent years have seen Evander Holyfield, Salt-n-Pepa,
            Don King, Al Sharpton and Melba Moore all participate as Grand Marshals.  The
            foundation has become a valuable resource to victims of violence by playing a
           supportive role during the aftermath and providing assistance for funeral
          arrangements, bereavement counseling and legal representation.

     In July 2008, they continue to honor James via an events line-up that starts
    with the 5th Annual James E. Davis Multi-Culture Peace Breakfast.  Set
     in New York's City Hall, this yearly gathering hosts an array of political,
    religious, social, arts and entertainment luminaries. Annual attendance is
   expected to exceed 400 guests and the event will feature a musical
   performance by a contemporary R&B or Gospel artist yet to be named.
