Loss of Founding Father of WRFG

Last week, on Oct 12, WRFG 89.3 lost one of its founders, Ebon Dooley, Broadcast Director, and mentor to me and so many others. Ebon was instrumental in the approval of 'Alternative Perspectives' a radio program about the GLBTQ community and our Allies. In the last few days I have learned from many others who knew him for much longer than I, just how he touched all of us in the same way. Ebon was a Scholar, a Lawyer, a Poet, a Humanitarian, a man of the People who loved nature, mild mannered, soft spoken and wise. He taught me patience, with a smile, and offered encouragement to persue the vision, he stood by me and advised me, he knew the struggle and never relented.

Ebon, was the father of Public Affairs programming at WRFG...and 'Alternative Perspectives' is part of that programming. In the next 2 weeks, starting Oct 23, WRFG will be conducting their Fall Marathon, their major fundrasing event. This marathon will be the first for 'Alternative Perspectives' and I am asking for your support...by calling in and pledging your financial support, in any amount. Alternative Perspectives is a unique opportunity for the Atlanta GLBTQ community to have a voice...and engage with the listening audience in dialoque...about who we are.

We have 2 opportunities during the marathon, Oct 24 and Oct 31 to show our support for WRFG. So if you can please call 404 523 8989...and make a pledge...WRFG is a community supported radio station...

Oct 24th Program:
Donna Narducci, Ex. Director AtlantaPride
Jeff Graham, Senior Director, Advocacy and Communications, AidsSurvival

Oct 31 Program
Pastor Paul Turner, Gentlespirit Church
Greg Smith, Director Outreach, AidsSurvival


Peace

It is primitive and a ridiculous notion that HIV can
be spread by touch.
It is unjust to prevent individuals from making a living
I am stunned at the ignorance of our City Officials.
Call the Mayor's office @ 404 330 6100

Mayor Franklin must take immediate steps to overturn
antiquated laws, that are so obviously discriminatory.

I speak from experience, as the one time President of
The Putnam Aids Task Force, 1982, in Putnam County, NY.
I dealt directly with the district Health Dept...and
we were educated then about the spread of HIV/Aids.
Where have our officials in Atlanta been for the last 25 years...
