Summary

Pastor Corey Brooks spent nearly a year on a rooftop to raise money to build a community center in Chicago’s notorious gang-controlled “O’block.” That’s why Pastor Brooks took exception with former NBA star Stephen Jackson “checking in” with the “real ones.” One of the kids featured in Jackson’s infamous “O’block” video is headed to jail accused of murder. Brooks shares that story and the battles he’s facing advocating for the black community as a Christian conservative in one of the most liberal, crime-ridden cities in the country.
