Today @ 2:30PM EST! Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley joins us during our Presidential Session, to discuss his family's legacy of faith leaders!

"Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley is the exciting, gifted and anointed Senior Pastor of the
historic Alfred Street Baptist Church (ASBC) in Alexandria, VA. A courageous,
dynamic, and visionary leader, he is only the eighth pastor in the church’s 217-year
history of worshipping Christ while serving humankind. Under Dr. Wesley’s
extraordinary leadership, the Alfred Street Baptist Church has grown from 2,500
members to 10,000 members, and 80 active ministries with an emphasis on children’s ministries and missions.

A native of Chicago, Dr. Wesley is the product of the University of Chicago
Laboratory Schools and graduated magna cum laude from Duke University with a
bachelor of science in biomedical and electrical engineering. While in medical school, Dr. Wesley yielded to the call of God and walked away from a path to a medical career to attend seminary at the prestigious Boston University School of Theology where he was a Martin Luther King, Jr. scholar and a summa cum laude graduate in Biblical Studies and African American Religious History. He received his Doctor of Ministry in preaching from Northern Baptist Seminary. Currently, Dr. Wesley is part
of the first of its kind in the world; the inaugural cohort of only ten exceptional
students in the PhD in African American Preaching and Sacred Rhetoric program at
Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Dr. Wesley is the son of the late Rev. Dr. Alvin and Dr. Helene Wesley and represents
the fourth generation of Baptist preachers in his family."

Congratulations are to our third recipient for this year's Freedom Scholar Award, Christopher J. Bonner!!! Be sure to look for him in our 106th Annual Meeting & Virtual Conference Souvenir Journal!

"A Freedom Scholar seeks to empower and inspire. A Freedom Scholar provides a direct benefit to African-American communities locally or nationally. ASALH has initiated the Freedom Scholar award to honor early scholars of any discipline who can demonstrate that their field of study is having a direct positive impact on the life of African-Americans.

The Freedom Scholar Award recognizes the contributions of an early career academic whose scholarship focuses on the empowerment of the African-American community."

Bishop Leah D. Daughtry of The House of the Lord Churches (D.C. & National), will be a part of this year's Presidential Session on the legacies of Black Faith Leaders, TOMORROW, SEPT. 18TH! **Link in bio**

"Bishop Leah D. Daughtry is a nationally recognized organizer-activist, political strategist, author, and Faith leader. The daughter of a long line of community organizers and activists, Leah represents the fifth consecutive generation of pastors in the Daughtry family.

A multi-faceted leader with a gift for solving highly complex problems with remarkable speed and precision, Leah has a proven capacity to manage multi-billion dollar budgets and develop internal and external communication strategies. These abilities make her an in-demand consultant with invaluable expertise to organizations seeking exponential growth. She describes her ability to create calm out of chaos as a God-given gift; and everything she has accomplished is a reflection of that gifting.

Bishop Daughtry serves as Presiding Prelate of The House of the Lord Churches, the fourth in succession. Standing at the intersection of Faith and politics, she works with community activists and organizations, political entities, businesses, and faith leaders and communities to assist them in building coalitions and partnerships that advance the common good. For her work with and within communities of Faith, Religion News Service named her one of the 12 most influential Democrats in the nation on faith and values politics. She has also served as Resident Fellow at Harvard University’s Institute of Politics, where she focused on the role faith and values play in American politics."
