Rev. Carmen Porco, the longtime executive director of Housing Ministries of American Baptists in Wisconsin, has been a well-known and highly respected anti-poverty activist for decades.

Author, speaker, and diversity expert Dr. Charles Taylor discovered quite a few of those amazing little stories while he was writing the new 222-page biography of Porco’s life story titled “The Carmen Porco Story – Journey Toward Justice.”
