Human Rights and Sexual Orientation
Homosexuality is illegal in thirty-eight African countries. Studies show that ninety-six percent of Ugandan citizens do not feel homosexuality should be tolerated.1 During an interview in 2014, President Yoweri Museveni, commented that “that gay people are ‘disgusting’ ” and that “the West should not force its beliefs onto Ugandans.” (Landau)
While many Africans may not support gay-rights, these statistics do not describe the entire African population. Though she may represent a minority view, activist Zanele Muholi strives to foster tolerance and understanding through her photography.
Zanele was raised in South Africa during the 1970’s and the 1980’s. Her father died several months after her birth in 1972. Her mother passed away from liver cancer when she was thirty-seven years old. Zanele does not know many details of her early childhood, including stories about her birth or her father’s death.
During 1991, South Africa was filled with political strife. Apartheid was unravelling and protests were rampant. Even though her mother accepted her sexuality, Zanele felt uncomfortable staying in Umlazi. She moved to Johannesburg, where she worked as a hairdresser and was rejected twice from film school.
1- Thirty-eight African countries have made homosexuality illegal. Most sodomy laws there were introduced during colonialism…. A 2013 report from Pew Research found that 96% of Ugandans believe society should not accept homosexuality. (Landau)
In 1996, South Africa passed legislation prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation. Ten years later, it was first African country to legalize gay marriage. Yet, South Africa was not a “safe” place for the LGBT community. One report estimated that “each year, 500 lesbians in South Africa are victims of a form of sexual assault known as “corrective rape,” intended to “fix” them of their nonconforming sexual orientation.” (Wortham)
Around this time, Zanele was accepted into a photography program in Johannesburg. She studied the work of American photographer, Nan Goldin. She developed a unique brand of photography that documented experiences of African lesbians. Zanele strived to “honour [sic] the body’s beauty” by allowing people to “look at the subjects as dignified people.” (Vervatidis) At the same time, she hoped to “undo the damage of growing up in a society that drew its strength from demonizing blackness.” (Wortham)
While her work was often considered controversial in Africa, Zanele’s work gained international recognition. Her artwork has been displayed in art galleries throughout the world and through various sources on the Internet. This imagery has spurred discussion of several social issues including gender roles, sexuality, intimacy, and humanity:
Her work from this time is startling in its intimacy: close-ups of women kissing, in nude
embrace, bathing in colorful tubs in their homes… One of Muholi’s most remarkable

Woodson (founder of Black History Month) and Martin Luther King Jr. and how he helped the USA earn equality in the country.

And I'm sorry about this whole thing. I'll remove it soon and put in a hyperlink leading to another presentation, I promise this one will have the words. But for now, you'll have to stick with this. Sorry!
Thanks anyway!

Mandela Day and the Making of a New ReligionPeter Hammond
In November 2009 the United Nations General Assembly declared 18 July, "Nelson Mandela International Day"! This they said was "in recognition of the former South African president's contribution to the culture of peace and freedom." The General Assembly Resolution: "recognises Nelson Mandela's values and his dedication to the service of humanity, in the fields of conflict resolution, race relations, the promotion and protection of human rights, reconciliation, gender equality, and the rights of children and other vulnerable groups, as well as the upliftment of poor and undeveloped communities. It acknowledges his contribution to the struggle for democracy internationally and the promotion of a culture of peace throughout the world."

Renewed in Grace
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
