Singing the Gospel for Obama
The Obama campaign is announcing the launch of an “unprecedented gospel concert tour” in South Carolina as part of the campaign’s grassroots “40 Days of Faith & Family” effort.
The concerts, which will be next week, will feature Mary Mary, Donnie McClurkin and Hezekiah Walker, Grammy Award winners all, as well as gospel quartet the Mighty Clouds of Joy.
What’s next? Can we expect a Harold Ford, Jr.-esque commercial shot in a church?
This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
