This Week's Program
A specialist in African American Literature, Dr. Kendric Coleman earned his Ph.D. from Louisiana State University-Baton Rouge. Serving in higher education for the last 20 years, he is a Full Professor in the Department of English at Valdosta State University where he teaches World Literature, American Literature, African American Literature, and African Literature. His research challenges the assumptions that undergird the construction of race and gender-politics through interdisciplinary interrogation. He has published and presented scholarly works critiquing black masculinity on Richard Wright, Nathan McCall, Frederick Douglass, Claude Brown, and James Earl Hardy.
Dr. Coleman’s favorite quote is by the late, renown African American historian Dr. John Henrik Clark: “I think every person that calls themselves a leader, a preacher, a policy maker of any kind should ask and answer the question in his own life time, how will my people stay on this earth? How will they be educated? How will they be schooled? How will they be housed? And how will they be defended? The answer to these questions will create the concept of enduring nationhood because it creates the concept of enduring responsibility."
District Governor Kirk Driskell and War on Addiction
Over 200 people lose their life to addition each day.
Kirk Driskell from Vision Warriors - War on Addition will spoke to us about the important work they are providing to men wanting to recover from addiction.
Vision Warriors is a faith community rooted in accountability and transparency. They are a safe place for men to share, feel and express their deepest passions, fears and pain without a filter.
Vision Warriors is a non-profit organization focused on creating lasting recovery because they believe there is more to recovery than a sobriety date. Vision Warriors is comprised of men that have experienced the pain of addiction and the hope of recovery in Jesus Christ.
