I was previewing a documentary on race inside the studios of WKOW television last month. There were perhaps two dozen of us there — mostly police officers, clergy, social workers and elected officials — watching and then being interviewed to supplement the program.
As the documentary wound to a conclusion, I noted that Gee’s was perhaps its most prominent voice.
That is no surprise. Gee is a well-known pastor, community organizer and civil rights leader noted for his oratorical skill. A lifelong Madisonian, he leads Fountain of Life Covenant Church and the Nehemiah Center for Urban Leadership Development.
