Keep: Zoriah is a wonderful photojournalist who was invited twice to present to students at Michigan State University. I personally raised the money from various university departments to pay for these trips, which were very successful. His work is highly respected by the academic community, and he had a profound influence upon the hundreds of students who attended his presentations on human rights crises around the world. I have known Zoriah for 14 years, and have accompanied his career from the beginning. Zoriah has no need to invent awards, exhibitions, or publications. It is easy to verify the voracity of his claims- simply look into the publications archives, inquire with his sponsors and those who have honored him. Basic research is all that is required. It seems many would rather defame him for personal reasons, and these people have nothing to contribute to journalism, and no basis upon which to make moral claims. Zoriah is an artist, a journalist, and a humanitarian who is changing the world for the better. God bless and protect all those who dare to stand up against the opposition for the greater good.
