Hour 1: The Vanishing Black Family
Today, 70 percent of black children are born to unmarried parents and close to half grow up without a father at home. Yet progressives–especially black leaders in the church, politics, academia, and the media–are silent. Delano Squires joins us to confront racial justice advocates with the question they can no longer avoid: how can you dismiss the collapse of marriage and decline in two-parent homes that is widening the gaps in income, education, and incarceration you claim to care about? Don’t miss this timely and crucial conversation.
Hour 2: Birth Days and Celebrations
What a great hour we have planned for you. Dr. Michael New will share his take on some new studies on the abortion pill and whether or not church-goers want to hear pro-life messages at Church. Then, Charles Billingsly will tell us about a fabulous musical celebration that will take place at the Kennedy Center celebrating God and our country. He has been invited to perform for the event and will share why this event is so unique and much needed at this time in our country.
