  1. I absolutely love the Maafa Suite. I've been going back for 8 years now! I first learned of it watching an excerpt on 'Like it Is.' And I been hooked ever since. Rev. Youngblood did a great thing adding this to the repertoire of his church. I'm not an 'organized religion' person but I think if I lived in the Peoples Republic of Brooklyn, then SPCBC would be my church. They do so much for the surrounding community. Its a church that truly "walks the walk"

    I will make an effort to make it to the send off in Coney Island this year, in years past I've overslept regrettably. But this year I will make a special effort.

    Thanks Rod for posting this. This is special.

  2. The MAAFA Suite is a theater production that everyone should experience.
