Jimmy Heath, Rest in Peace


I learned this week that Jimmy Heath passed away. Jimmy and I were part of the sixth class of Mickey Leland Hunger Fellows in 1999/2000.

Jimmy was a photographer and community activist in the Over-the-Rhine section of Cincinnati, OH. Beyond what he did for his profession, he was a good listener, a kind soul, and a good friend. I haven't talked to Jimmy in years, but was saddened to hear we'd lost a talented photographer and someone who made this world more passionate.

Here are some links to Jimmy's Web Site with information about donating to support Jimmy's work and Jimmy Heath's obituary.

Rest in peace, Jimmy. Hope the views are great from up there.
