A prominent black pastor on Chicago's South Side laments that the rioting and looting that have engulfed protests of the death of George Floyd have erased years of progress in his community, placing ultimate blame on liberal political policies.
"We worked tirelessly to turn around the city's most violent neighborhood, only to see it burned and looted," wrote Corey Brooks in an opinion piece for the American Conservative website.
Brooks is the founder and senior pastor of New Beginnings Church of Chicago and founder and CEO of Project H.O.O.D Communities Development Corporation. His organization focuses on building dialogue, families and community leaders, with a special emphasis on young black men who are exiting gangs.
He said that when he founded his church, the neighborhood had one of the nation's highest homicide rates.
