[Photo by Chad Marlow]  Note: Councilmember James "Jed" Davis was the first public official in word or in writing to bestow good wishes on the S.V.A. for the new year 2003. 2002 Councilmember Davis presents Williamson Henderson the Award for S.V.A.  Program for "Holiday Gay Pride" created and sponsored by N.Y.C. Councilman 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.  Invitation to "Holiday G.L.B.T. Pride Celebration"  N.Y. City Council Award announced for the S.V.A.  |

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 crimein 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'syounger 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 Multi-cultural
Peace Concert & Memorial. Recent years have seen Evander Holyfield, Salt-n-Pepa,
Don King, Virginia Fields 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.
On July 24, 2009, they continue to honor James via an events line-up that starts
with the 6th 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. Attendance is
expected to exceed 400 guests and the event will feature a musical
performance by a contemporary R&B artist and a gospel chorus.
