Having served for nearly a quarter century as an elected official, Peter is always excited when the opportunity presents itself to marry his art and advocacy efforts. You may have seen him recently on Cleveland television in a public service announcement sponsored by a local nonprofit, Stop the Pain. The PSA offers a visually and thematically stunning anti-gun violence commentary which Peter conceived, penned and performed. Peter also appears in a video and can be heard on a CD (Fried Potatoes and Onions) produced by the Cleveland Treatment Center, which for decades has provided vital support and counseling for those battling substance abuse. In the video, he portrays “King Heroin,” in a novel and cinematic re-envisioning of James Brown’s classic 1972 jazz/R&B poem. In addition to "King Heroin," Peter performs a spoken word intro to a rendition of Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes's “Wake Up Everybody.” Finally, as a practicing attorney who strongly believes in everyone’s right to affordable legal counsel, Peter was proud to narrate The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland’s most recent agency video.
