LGBT Detroit welcomes Rev. David Alexander Bullock to the weekly community conversation "Talk Tuesday," on Feb. 13, at 5:30 p.m. Rev. Bullock will address homophobia within the African American community and how it hinders upcoming leaders.
"We are thrilled to have such an influential ally as Rev. Bullock speak to an issue important to believers," said LGBT Detroit Executive Director Curtis Lipscomb. "As a faith leader in Metro Detroit, his unique position allows attention to this ongoing topic."
Bullock, a graduate of Morehouse College, received a masters of arts in philosophy from Wayne State University in 2003. He has served as an adjunct college professor in both Michigan and Illinois, and as the past president of the Highland Park NAACP.
Bullock is also a former president of the Detroit chapter of Operation Rainbow Push and the State of Michigan Coordinator. He is nationally recognized as a key organizer of the successful campaign to repeal the controversial Emergency manager law PA4.
Currently, he is the pastor of the Greater St. Matthew Baptist Church in Highland Park, and a talk show host for "The David Bullock Show" on 910 AM Superstation.
Special consideration has been given to volunteer Melani I. Baker-Mood, who dedicated her personal, academic and professional life advocating for all minorities, including LGBT populations.
"I was honored to have assisted in this project, overjoyed in aligning with LGBT Detroit's vision, and tremendously gifted with the passion shared by Rev. Bullock," said Baker-Mood.
Black History Month began as "Negro History Week," which was created in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson, a noted African American historian, scholar, educator and publisher. It became a month-long celebration in 1976. The month of February was chosen to coincide with the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln.
The lecture will be held at 20025 Greenfield Road in Detroit. LGBT Detroit can be reached online at lgbtdetroit.org, or by phone at 313-397-2127.
