Rev. Otis Moss, III
WASHINGTON—Stellar
award-winning gospel singer VaShawn Mitchell will perform and Rev. Dr.
Otis Moss, III will deliver the keynote address at the Congressional
Black Caucus Foundation, Incorporated (CBCF) Annual Prayer Breakfast,
Saturday, Sept. 19, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in
Washington D.C. The Miles College Choir will also perform.
The Prayer Breakfast, the penultimate, signature event of the 45th
Annual Legislative Conference (ALC), draws roughly three thousand
attendees each year. Interactive One will livestream the event for the
second year in a row on NewsOne.com.
“The Prayer Breakfast is unique in that it brings our conference
guests together in the spirit of worship,” said A. Shuanise Washington,
president and chief executive officer of the CBCF. “The Breakfast
provides an opportunity for thoughtful reflection and is welcomed
respite from the very important work that occurs during the ALC. We are
especially thankful for our title sponsor, The Coca-Cola Company, and
the Radio One Family for their continued support of this uplifting
event.”
VaShawn Mitchell is one of gospel music’s shining stars. His 2010
album, “Triumphant” rose to the top of the charts. “Billboard” magazine
declared the album’s single, “Nobody Greater,” the most played gospel
song of 2011, and named Mitchell the top Gospel Radio Artist of the same
year.
Dr. Otis Moss, III is the senior pastor of Trinity United Church
of Christ in Chicago, IL, and an accomplished author, speaker, and
activist. He published his first book, “Redemption in a Red Light
District,” in 1999. His sermons, articles, and poetry have appeared in
various publications.
For the last three decades, the Prayer Breakfast has been the
inspirational high note of the ALC. Past guests include Richard
Smallwood, Marvin Sapp, Anthony Brown and Group Therapy, and Rev. Dr.
Calvin O. Butts, III.
Proceeds from the Prayer Breakfast benefit the CBCF’s many
programs and initiatives. To purchase tickets and register for the ALC,
