believe in me & in the things that I do; that so many people across the
country voted to bestow upon me this such very prestigious award; that so many
folks, so many of you- my friends, my family, my colleagues, my union, absolute
strangers- believe in me & what I have accomplished (& furthermore,
what I can continue to achieve!) is staggering to me. Truly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But I fully realize that this is not only a validation &

<div class="MsoNormal">
Thank you. I cannot express what this means to me and the
gratitude I feel for the respect and love being shown in its giving.<br />
Social Justice Activism is in my blood and imprinted on my soul. I was named
for a Kennedy and a King. I marched on DC in the womb and I’ve followed the
path ever since. Boots always on the ground.<br />
I am twelve and my parents tell me that my beloved Uncle Les is gay. He
couldn’t come out until now because his father, my Poppy, wouldn’t have
understood. Now sadly my Poppy is dead but my Uncle can finally be who he has
always been.<br />
Thirty-five years later, I meet Vincent V., a student who because of his otherness
is bullied to the extent that he must be home-schooled. I become his advocate
and his family’s partner in a difficult legal battle with his district,
resulting in that district paying for Vincent to attend our school. Safe at our
school, Vincent flourishes: finally able to realize who he is & who she has
always been. Vincent becomes Vee, now Vita, our school’s first transgender
student and she allows me the honor of helping her with that transition. Vee’s
bravery and self-realization is a gift to our entire school and our greater
community and to me personally: a concrete example of the power of outreach, an
abstract made very real. A life saved; a life realized.<br />
An extraordinary story indeed but not uncommon in schools that allow Gay
Straight Alliances to exist. The very existence of GSAs save lives every day,
both literally and figuratively. By simply existing, these groups make kids
feel safer, more accepted and indeed more loved. Sometimes, oft-times, this is
what allows some students to get up in the morning, traverse those very
intimidating hallways & make it through their sometimes, oft-times, very
difficult days. GSA’s are not just for LGBTQI kids either, they are in no way
exclusionary, hence the word straight in the very name of the group. It’s a
safe space for all kids to listen to and to learn from each other, lend a hand
to hold or a shoulder to cry on.<br />
Being in a GSA keeps kids off the streets, out of the hospitals, away from the
jails, safe from their own hands and even moreso, the hands of others. I forged
the first middle school GSA in New Jersey and it has since inspired similar
groups across our state, indeed across the country. GSAs are love and love is
contagious. They are a wonderful and inspiring microcosm of community-building:
kids reaching out to other kids, creating relationships and forming identities
through conversation, mutual understanding, and respect. Simply hearing and
seeing each other and simply being heard and being seen, for some of them, for
the very first time…<br />
That’s how we learn, we grow, we understand – It is indeed Social Justice. We
can’t do it without each other, hence the “social” part.<br />
Empathy for others, a deeper understanding of our brothers and sisters of every
color, gender (or lack thereof), religion (or lack thereof), national origin,
or physical or mental disability allows us a wonderful and unique window to the
world around us and the heart that beats within us all.<br />
Listen.<br />
Listen to your students. Listen to your colleagues. Listen to your friends,
your family, your community.<br />
Listen to those you love and those you hate.<br />
Listen to a stranger. And then…<br />
Be a voice for the voiceless. A friend to the friendless.<br />
Love and respect all, and if you can’t do that, you have the include them
anyway. Any movement that is not all-inclusive is not a movement at all. In
fact it is a step backward; and we have surely taken too many of those
recently.<br />
We need to teach in the classroom, inspire in the hallways and be a force in
our communities.<br />
It may not seem like it, but these are our times. We will persevere, we will
rise up, we will come out the other side – stronger, faster, better, with more
folks on our side and at our backs.<br />
Hold hands, lock arms, heads up, eyes clear, hearts full and minds wide open…<br />
Boots on the ground.<br />
Now and always<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Few weeks back, I shared the <a href="http://sweetestbaboon.blogspot.com/2016/08/the-sides.html" target="_blank">A-Sides</a>, a collection of my "top five" works past & present (to inspire the future). Now, as promised (&/or threatened), here I throw down the flipsides to those trax: the lesser-known but sometimes funkier b-sides. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Most of these cuts are vinyl only...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">First up is a really deep cut, way back from my college daze when I did a different weekly strip in all three of the newspapers @ Rutgers. In the alternative paper, "The Medium", I drew my fave, "Fallin' Asleep", a collection of self-important navel-gazin' that one can only get away with in college. Some of 'em actually hold up </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">tho', </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">like this piece right here:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Next track is a funky one indeed. Done fer a comic book website contest I didn't win, I still dig it the most- a mash-up of Marvel & DC; a team-up in an alternate universe's Harlem, wherein two of the comix biggest contributions to the Blaxploitation era do their thang outside the Apollo with electrifyin' results indeed:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>My lovely bride asked me to include two mas</i>:</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">First up, this seasonal missive from the year we found out she was with child (hopefully mine, but the blonde hair & blue eyes did indeed make it somewhat suspicious- callin' Maury Povich!). I've laid down <a href="http://sweetestbaboon.blogspot.com/search/label/holidaze" target="_blank">holiday ink</a> for the past 30 some odd years & this is not particularly a fave of mine honestly altho' I appreciate the sentiment & I think the drawing expresses it nicely. I do like the stork's Rudolph nose & oh-so-feathery-feathers but I don't think our as-of-then-yet-to-be-born son looks so safe being upside-down & all (& even moreso he looks kinda' larva-esque rather than simply bundled up...)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">& my best girl really digs this piece, Moose & Goose (a romance), & the story goes a lil' somethin' like this:</span></div>
<div class="post-header" style="color: #2b1e2b;">
<div class="post-header-line-1">
</div>
</div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-2245774670544033933" itemprop="description articleBody" style="color: #2b1e2b; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So I am quite often asked, both virtually & corporeally, to draw something for someone. Usually I politely demur, citing my current penchant for donating my art to charity or supporting political causes, but the chef in my school's cafeteria came to me in such a sweet & earnest manner, I could not resist slinging some ink his way. He told me a tale of his first anniversary with his lovely bride & how they call each other "moose & goose" & this just tumbled outta' me...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Colorblindness is really a misnomer; it is more akin to
color-confused. Whereas your spectrum is quite vast & includes a veritable
plethora of color, those of us who are genetically-deficient have a much
smaller range & therefore colors get smashed up together, confused with
others, & many unseen at all. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am colorblind, one of the most severe
degrees of such. It is bothersome at times, disappointing at others, but as
with any handicap (& I even hesitate to use that word as comparatively it
is a non-issue), one learns to adjust & compensate for such. I also like
the fact that I “inherited” from my Poppy, my mom’s dad, who left much too
early in my life & sharing this genetic trait is at least something by
which I can feel closer to him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">But being colorblind does affect me every day- the loss of a
beautiful sunset, inability to decipher a traffic lite, seeing lots of green
skin on folks I know are not Martians… unsure if I’m wearin’ a pink shirt. Being an artist (albeit one who predominantly works in black & white), an art teacher & just a lover of looking & seeing & really absorbing this wonderfully vibrant world around us makes it even more distressing at times.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This
wonderful company <a href="http://enchroma.com/" target="_blank">EnChroma</a> has changed all
that with their incredible &, I dare say, inspiring sunglasses that promise “color for
the colorblind”, & y’know what, they actually deliver on said promise in a
big way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
