Slick Mobile

This is the kind of ride I've only seen a Black man in, and he is a pastor here in Maryland. His ministry is directed at the generation under 40 that was served a bad cultural deal from the 1980's on, and struggled in ways profoundly different from previous generations, but managed to create a respected response to their angst: Hip Hop. He speaks that language effectively and helps to transform lives in significant ways through his plays, his study, his marriage, his teaching style, his light shows, the invitations to the pioneers of Hip Hop that perform and teach in his church, and other simple, but effective ways of reaching Black youth. - Gregory E. Woods, 3.27.13
