Fox News

This was a man who lived a major part of his life under segregation and who had every reason to be bitter. Yet he loved America and the way he talked about America was so infectious. Pastor Corey Brooks, known as the "Rooftop Pastor," is the founder and Senior Pastor of New Beginnings Church of Chicago and the CEO of Project H.O.O.D.
