"The power of the Black Church extends far beyond the pulpit," said Dr. Frederick D. Haynes, III, Senior Pastor of Friendship West Baptist Church . "We are taking our movement from the church pews to the concert venues to ensure that every Black voice is heard and counted. This tour is more than a series of performances; it's a call to action."

"In a time when our democracy is at stake, we are called to be the moral and spiritual compass that guides our community to the polls.
