J. Lee Cooper-Giles is a lifelong political, religious, and social activist. He has three undergraduate college degrees: a BA in Black Studies and English, a BA in Journalism, and a BFA in Painting and Drawing from The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio. Cooper-Giles grew up in a small town, Chillicothe, Ohio as well as New York City because his parents had divorced when he was five-years old: his mother who’d remarried remained in Ohio and his father, who’d also remarried lived in NYC. During these formative years, he was nurtured by family and friends, his church and community, the public schools, and the political, religious, and social issues at that time. Currently, Cooper-Giles is semi-retired while he still continues his artistic pursuits: painting and drawing, and writing as if he were an early 21st Century “Muckraker!”view less
