Photos and question by Harry Kemp
Anita Ejiotor: "It’s a big mess! But it doesn’t reflect/represent other African American leaders."

Minister Murray Scott: "As a minister, I’m going to say may God bless him, that he can learn from mistakes. And the next time, put God first."
|
Deacon Matthew Harrell: "If a man is proven by his deeds, then let him be judged by his deeds."
