Jarret Maupin is the reverend Al's handpicked protégé. Is Phoenix City Hall ready?

Nevertheless, Maupin understands where black rage comes from, and why sometimes young minorities feel it's unfair to have to live by the credo "What would MLK do?" when many of the changes King fought for still have not come about.

"When you live in a society where you know that when you wake up, and you go outside, that you may not be seen by everyone as equal; when you live under the emotional distress caused by situations that you're put up against every day -- these are all things that can frustrate a people, and subconsciously the buildup of all these things can lead to inner turmoil."

Facing the future: Jarrett Maupin backed by friends and family.

Jarrett Maupin Sr. at the NAN offices: "When you get disrespected, all kinds of stuff that you've had to deal with your whole life crops up."

The young Rev pauses to catch his breath. It's Sunday, after all, and he had been preparing to address the King Day melee in a Phoenix church before his flight got snowed in.

"As you can see, we've still got a long road ahead," he says. "But I'm ready for it. I'm not that tired."

He catches himself again. "Well, maybe after this week, I may come home and -- just maybe -- I might sleep in for a day.

"But I've got school as soon as I come back," he remembers, laughing. "So I guess I'll be sleeping on the plane."

As sad as it is true, Jarret Maupin has defrauded us out of $21000. As a referral, we contacted him to help get my step-son out Pinal County Jail we he is being held on a bogus charge. He assisted us in getting 2 credit cards. 1 for $8000 and 1 for $10,000. He also convinced us to get a loan for $3000 to assist with the bail. We never got an attorney. We found one and requested a refund to pay him and we are not getting our money back. Bail was never made becaquse the $3000 was not enough, per the bail bondsman. We have a copy from the bank where the check was cased, so we know he has the money. He has made severall promises to return the money, but then de becomes invisable again. He will not answer his phone and will not reurn calls from his voice mail. The few times we have talked to him, he says he is workhis or that to help, but nothing has actually transpired. He event old us he was going to have churches take up collections to pay the money back to the credit card companies. We were dumb enough to believe him, because he is REVERAND Jarret Maupin We called New York where NAN headquarters are located and they tell us he is no longer a member nor has he been a member for along time. But he still contends he is part of Al Sharptons group. They suggested we contact the authorities after we explained what had happen and the amount of money he has taken from us. We have filed a report with the Phoenix police fraund division, we have spoken with 2 tv stations and are waiting for a interview date and are in the process of doing the same with the county and state fraud division of the attorneys general offices. Really a sad day when a so called minister will stoop this low and take money this way. We want our money back and it would be nice to see him do some jail time for fraud.
