Sometimes, in the work of documenting and cover events for this blog, I have been witness to a bit of events that I live at the clock are passing to get a substantial affect on the future of the city, the State or the Country.
Such an event occurred in an interior city church called Mt. Olivet in downtown Richmond, Va. a few years ago.
Mt.
Olivet Baptist Church is set in Richmond, Virginia in a region that most people would avoid in the day if possible. Let alone at night. And there is no better testament to the dedication and sincerity of the eventuality of Virginia Delegates, lead by Speaker Howell, that ventured into this neighbourhood to play with African-American Church Leaders, inner city kids and adults.
Bishop Daryl Husband, Pastor of Mt. Olivet for about 3 decades welcomed the assembly of like minded Conservatives to his Church. Bishop Charles West (known by many as Coach West for his work with the children) of Reality Church of God, Don Blake, Chairman of the Virginia Christian Alliance and Sonnie Johnson, Virginia Chapter President of the Frederick Douglass Foundation joined Terry Beatley, President of the No Excuses Ministry in welcoming Speaker Bill Howell and nearly a dozen Republican Delegates to the Virginia House.
Bishop Husband opened with a rousing message of one and desire that the Cautious message and Family Values embraced by the Republican Party could broadcast to the African-American Community.
There are three videos, the kickoff of which accompanies this post showing the Bishop Husband`s comments. The remaining videos will be posted over the future pair of years with commentary.
After watching these short videos, you will hold that this is the origin of an important awakening by members of the African-American Community of the kindred spirits and shared values that these minorities share with Republicans.
