The Black Rose

Nancy Ava Miller was one of the founders of PEP-DC on June 11th, 1987. Several months later, the Board of Directors changed the group's name to Black Rose.

Black Rose is a contemporary BDSM organization based in Washington, D.C. It is a social group that hosts, among other things, educational classes revolving around BDSM activities, issues, and safety. The organization also hosts monthly socials and an annual national convention for the BDSM community.

The Black Rose Event

Usually held in Washington DC the first weekend in December, this event is quite similar to Folsom Street Fair with primary interests related to BDSM.


Harvey John "Jack" McGeorge

"Jack" McGeorge is an ex-Marine and was a munitions analyst for the United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC). Over Thanksgiving weekend, 2002, the Washington Post ran an article revealing that McGeorge was also a leader in the Washington, DC BDSM community. Jack was on the Board of Directors of Black Rose Organization and an officer of the Leather Leadership Conference.

McGeorge made no attempt to conceal his involvement in the leather lifestyle; his full name appeared prominently on websites, and said as much to the Post and other media. He did, however, offer his resignation to Hans Blix, hoping to preserve the credibility of his organization before the weapons inspections in Iraq. Blix refused to accept McGeorge's resignation.

Later, Hua Jiang, spokeswoman for U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, said that being into BDSM was no more likely to be a cross-cultural problem in the Middle East than any number of other issues.
