Since Nov. 20, 2021, Rev. Corey B. Brooks has been living on a roof on the South Side of Chicago.
It’s tough for a lot of these mothers, especially the single mothers who are trying to do the best they can to raise their children in such a violent environment. The stress these families are experiencing is overwhelming.
Brooks’ church is located on “O Block,” named for gang member Odee Perry, where violence is a constant . Yet his programs have trained over 160 people with an 80% job placement rate.Now, we have a charter school for 16 to 21 year olds who’ve been kicked out of Chicago public schools. We’ve got them engaged in education and we get them to graduate. We also have a trade school. We offer mentoring and counseling.
I’ve always kept my politics to myself. For the first 14 years with my church I never even really thought about politics at all. And it wasn’t until six years ago, that I finally told people I was a Republican. I’ve been a Republican since I was 20.
