Description

Join us on a special episode of "CURE America with Star Parker" as we shines a spotlight on the incredible life of Kelvin J. Cochran at the 2023 CURE National Policy Summit. From his early days in the Shreveport Fire Department to becoming the first African-American fire chief of Shreveport, Cochran's journey takes center stage. This exclusive TV special delves into the recognition bestowed upon Cochran by President Barack Obama, celebrating his appointment as the US Fire Administrator. However, the narrative takes an unexpected turn as we explore the events leading to Cochran's suspension and subsequent firing for expressing his religious views in a book.

More than fifty years after the Civil Rights movement and nearly 160 years after the Civil War, racial tension in the country is at an all-time high. Riots, police reform, and racial equity are all topics of national debate. Syndicated columnist and author of four books analyzing government impact on poverty in our urban communities, Star Parker, delves deep into national issues that impact America’s most distressed communities and the power and political will needed to fix them. This is a podcast of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education, a non-profit think tank fighting poverty and restoring dignity through scholarship supporting faith, freedom, and personal responsibility.
