Abortion is a form of discrimination. Just as Black Americans were both enslaved and disqualified from constitutionally protectedPersonhood because of their skin color. Just as Jews were legally put to death and disqualified from constitutionally protected personhood because of their ethnicity. Today, the pre-born child is disqualified from constitutionally protected personhood in the United States of America, because of his or her physical size, level of biological development, environment and|or dependency.

"You express a great deal of anxiety over our willingness to break laws. This is certainly a legitimate concern. Since we so diligently urge people to obey the Supreme Court's decision of 1954 outlawing segregation in the public schools, at first glance it may seem rather paradoxical for us consciously to break laws. One may well ask: 'How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?' The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that "an unjust law is no law at all." — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., "Letter from Birmingham Jail," April 16, 1963. Top

"Our Churches Now!" By My Father In The Gospel
Today, very few congregants hear the true, inspired word of God these days. Today, our churches are filled more and more with watered-down messages lacking sound doctrine. Here is the late Dr. S.M. Lockridge, my Father In The Gospel speaking on the state of today's modern church and the need to proclaim the name of JESUS again in our church services. When a person yields to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, he or she acknowledges His ownership and gives up his or her personal rights. Yielding to the Lordship of Jesus Christ also involves total and unreserved obedience. If He is the Lord of your life, you are going to do what He tells you to do. May this message resonate in your heart as you listen. [ The title above is my title for this sermon. ] Top

The Star Spangled Banner
"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the national anthem of the United States of America. The lyrics come from "Defence of Fort M'Henry", a poem written in 1814 by the 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by British ships of the Royal Navy in Baltimore Harbor during the Battle of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. Here's the story of how our national anthem came to be. I was born in America in 1956. I am an American. Top
The Pledge of Allegiance
In 1969, Richard Bernard "Red" Skelton (July 18th, 1913 — September 17th, 1997) performed a self-written monologue about the Pledge of Allegiance. In the speech, he commented on the meaning of each phrase of the pledge. He credited one of his Vincennes grammar school teachers, Mr. Laswell, with the original speech. The teacher had grown tired of hearing his students monotonously recite the pledge each morning; he then demonstrated to them how it should be recited, along with comments about the meaning behind each phrase. In 1963 prayer was eliminated from state-sponsored schools. In Detroit, Michigan, I was seven (7) years old in 1963 and subsequently thirteen (13) years old in 1969. Somethings you never forget. Top

"Black women, let it be stated, Black women never demonstrated, demanded or even requested the right to an abortion.

"Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy which results in the death of a developing human. This is how it is defined in Webster's medical dictionary 1986.

Bessie Jones
"No Hiding Place Down Here"
The truth is, our sin "will find us out." No matter who you are. No matter whatever position in life you may hold, you are a sinner. Thankfully, we can be a sinner "saved by grace." The simple fact of the matter is, that we sin because we are a sinners. Even when you try to hide it! And I very deliberately say "try to hide it" because you cannot hide your sin.
You can try to conceal it, you can try to keep your sins secret, believing that if they are secret, they do not exist. Yes, you can try to make excuses, but the truth, there is no hiding place down here.Top

2022
December of 2022 opened up with a bang! The Year End St. Anthony's Catholic Church Youth Conference (picture above) brought Walter and Lori face to face with young men and women fighting hard to be Pro-Life in the public square. Which today, is harder than ever before. The youth, had many, many questions, much of which were based on their own personal struggles to be Pro-Life among their peers. All eyes and ears, were on Walter when he presented the reality of abortion in the Black-American community, followed by the personal challenges of him being jailed for helping women outside of an abortion clinic. Many of the youth, renewed their commitment to the Biblical Pro-Life mandate and St. Anthony's Youth Leaders committed to helping Walter spread the word regarding his work in the Pro-Life movement. After meeting the needs of the youth at St. Anthony's Catholic Church, Walter and Lori worked on finalizing their plans for the Issues4Life Foundation's Fundraising Webcast and StandUp4Life Rally|Walk in Oakland, California.
November of 2022 opened up with a Real Options Ignite Life Event where met with Guest Speaker David Williams. David is a National Speaker and Chapter Coordinator with SaveOne. The RealOptions Obria Medical Clinics, is another Pregnancy Care Center, Walter and and Lori are intimately involved with that provides compassionate, comprehensive, high quality holistic health care, education, and pregnancy loss healing to women, men, students, and families.

This time the men met at a local Planned Parenthood abortion killing center and marched all the way to the USCCB Fall General Assembly. Afterwards, Walter and Lori stopped and relaxed to enjoy Thansgiving and the few days left in November of 2022.

You can have a just society waiting on you. But if you can’t get out of the womb, nothing—nothing—matters.

The topic of Abortion has been "controversial" for a long time, the question is, "when will the solution be easier than the alternative?" This was the topic of the "Lexis One Radio Interview" with ReGina A. Bradford-Tardy. November 2020 didn't stop. The Solano Community Church Quarterly Men's Breakfast Meeting asked Walter to minister to the men. The event was outdoors in the church's parking lot. Next Pastor Joseph Parker interviewed Walter on his radio show, "The Hour of Intercession" and talked about the movie "Divided Hearts of America".
In October of 2020, still locked down by the COVID-19 "Plan-Demic", Walter continued to work with the "National Leaders of the Pro-Life Movement" via Virtual Zoom Conferences. How the Pro-Life movement could support the re-election of President Donald J. Trump dominated the discussions. The work never stopped Walter continued to work with the Archdiocese of San Francisco's Office of Human Life and Dignity's "Committee for Racial Reconciliation and Justice" to support the "Faith and Blue" weekend. Additionally, Walter joined Archbishop Cordileone during a "Listening Session " in the community of East Palo Alto on the impact of racism in the East Palo Alto (EPA) community.

In the movie Benjamin Watson goes on a journey to discover the truth about abortion and as you can see from the trailer, Walter nails it. Next, the "Movie To Movement's" Jason Jones, a film producer, author, activist and Catholic human rights worker, had Walter on his podcast to talk about the "Personhood" theme in the movie.
September was super busy for Lori and I, so here's a short description list time table:
September 18th, 2020 Ruth Bader Ginsberg passes away on the first day of Rosh Hashanah also called the Feast of Trumpets; which is celebrated over several days.
NOTE: This year, September 18th is also the Day of Judgement and the first day of the Ten (10) Days of Awe celebrated by Jews and many Believers (including myself) all around the world. This is a season of repentance, renewal and revival. The last day of the Ten (10) Days of Awe is Yom Kippurim, also known as the Day of Atonement. According to Jewish Rabbis Yom Kippurim literally means a day just like Purim, the celebration of Esther, who saved her people from genocide in the Persian Empire twenty-five (25) centuries ago.
September 22nd, 2020: Lori and I traveled to Montgomery, Alabama to pray and petition God to stop the genocide of black lives and all unborn children.
I believe the Lord is moving in a very powerful way at this moment in time …
ESTHER 4:13-17
Mordecai declared to Esther,
Do not think to yourself that in the king's palace
you will escape any more than all the other Jews. For if you keep silent, at this time,
relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish.
And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai,
Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa,
and hold a fast on my behalf,
and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day.
I and my young women will also fast as you do.
Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish.
Mordecai then went away and did everything as Esther had ordered him.
Yeah, "For Such A Time As This!"
In August of 2020, still locked down by the COVID-19 "Plan-Demic", Walter and Lori hit the road and traveled to the St. Augustine Academy in Ventura, California for Vox Vitae Day. There Walter joined other speakers for an outdoors day of training and activism for teens and adults. The Q&A session addressed tough pro-abortion questions, civic involvement issues, social media, political activism and acism in abortion industry. Later in the month of August, Walter and Lori celebrated Sister Klga Kendall's one-hundred and second (102nd) birthday. Sister Kendall was a part of Walter Pro-Life team standing outside of an abortion clinic in Oakland, California. Today, that abortion clinic is closed and even today, Walter and Sister Kendall celebrate the lives of women they touched for Christ sake. On the 20th of August, Walter and Lori, celebrated Walter's sixty-fourth (64th) birthday after a zoom meeting with "Black Voices for Trump". On the 23rd of August, Walter remembered the 57th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have A Dream Speech" delivered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. in 1963. Still moved by Dr. King's historic speech, Walter pressed harder towards the end of abortion.
In July of 2020, still locked down by the COVID-19 "Plan-Demic", Walter and Lori never quit. The "Carmel Communications" team discussed "Op-Ed" ideas with Walter regarding his book. Next Walter participated in "The 2020 Panel", via "Glenn TV", to discuss "How Black Lives Matter Hijacked Our Schools". This virtual conference is designed to reach and inform faith-based leaders and Pastors. Two (2) days later, Walter met with "Mother Haymon", a ninety-two (92) year old mother and grand-mother, who wanted to share her personal testimony with him for his "Monday Column". "Mother Haymon" blew everyone away. Next week Walter met with the national leaders of the Pro-Life movement, via a conference call, to discuss the November election. The very next week, Walter zoomed with the Berkeley Students for Life and three (3) days later Walter's message on "Irreversibility" was featured on the "2020 Support After Abortion Healing Network". In June of 2020, still locked down by the COVID-19 "Plan-Demic", Walter and Lori pressed on and were invited to speak by the "Ally-J" ("J" as in Jesus Christ) team, in light of the killing of George Floyd at their rally in Novato City, California. There Walter shared how his great grandfather was lynched by the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) and how once his grandmother accepted Christ, her world got better. Next Walter was invited to be interviewed on the The Dr. "J" Show ("J" as in Jennifer Roback Morse, Ph.D.). Dr. Morse leads the "Ruth Institute". Together and Walter had a great time. The following seeking Walter was asked to join the San Francisco Archdiocese's "Racial Reconciliation and Healing" team and bring his perspective on the racial tension in America today. Again, the very next week, Walter was interviewed by EWTN's Teresa Tomeo's "Catholic Connection" show and the "Bill Martinez Live" show to talk about his book "Black and Pro-Life in America" written by Robert Artigo an investigative journalist and how Black lives matter in the womb.
In May of 2020, locked down by the COVID-19 "Plan-Demic", Walter and Lori did not attend the Christian Leadership Alliance "Outcomes Conference" on their calendar. The "Outcomes Conference" is where leaders go to learn and sharpen the skills necessary to run a Christ-Centered business. Nevertheless, May is always a busy month has Walter was arrested on Tuesday, May 13th, 2008 by the Oakland Police Department for standing on a public sidewalk, holding a sign that said "God Loves You, And Your Baby. Let Us Help You", passing out literature to local pregnancy centers and having a conversation within one-hundred (100) feet of an abortion clinic. This new Oakland Ordinance, was just passed by the Oakland City council on Tueday, January 15th, 2008. Yeah, the Oakland City Council passed this new law on Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday and on Thursday, January 15th, 2009, Walter would be convicted by a pro-choice jury, an incompetent judge and racial profiling by the Oakland City attorney of violating the new law and sent to jail. Five (5) years later, on Monday, May 13th, 2013Kermit Gosnell, the American serial kill and criminal abortionist physician, was convicted on three (3) of the murder charges, twenty-one (21) felony counts of illegal late-term abortion, and two hundred and eleven (211) counts of violating the twenty-four (24) hour informed consent law. Even today, Walter continues to get questions regarding the connection between the date of the Oakland City Council passing the law and his conviction in court the very next year and the connection between the date of his arrest and the conviction of Kermit Gosnell.
Additionally in May, as a board member of the Morning Center, Walter continued to strengthen the outreach of pregnancy care center. The Morning Center exists to partner with the local Church to provide prenatal through postpartum care (free of any charge) to moms in need, in the name of Jesus. To finish the month of May, Walter continued his work with the Douglass Leadership Institute (DlI) as they supported and announced Terris Todd, the new Executive Director of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans. Lori and I addressed April 2020 in light of Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrenders his 28,000 troops to Union General Ulysses S. Grant, effectively ending the American Civil War on April 9th, 1865. And in light of the two (2) funeral services that were held for Martin Luther King, Jr. on Tuesday, April 9th, 1968 in Atlanta, Georgia. As such Walter continued to work with the Morning Center, which exists to partner with the local Church to provide prenatal through postpartum care to moms in need, in the name of Jesus. Walter participated in the White House's "Faith Leaders" Conference call and was interviewed on "Breakfast With Bacon" Radio Show.
"Sheltering In Place" presented a challenge for us to continue to be effective. But God Blessed Us! Like many of you, I have children who are grown, out of the house, on their own, and doing their own thing. As you can imagine, from time to time, I have been running and stopped along the trail to create a short video message to encourage my children to hold on to “God’s Unchanging Hand” (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8). As a father, this was just one of the ways I was staying in touch with my children. However, during this Coronavirus Pandemic, I have stepped up the creation of my video messages. As a father, my goal is to share a Bible verse with my children and assure them that my wife, Lori, and s are all right. "Stuck In The Middle Of Nowhere | A Father's Race To Life's Finish Line" is an ongoing set of videos that I am making for my children, as I run this race to life’s finish line. These videoss have been published in Black Community News and have encouraged father's nation wide to take this time of “Sheltering In Place” to draw closer to both God and their children.
In March of 2020, Lori and I traveled to Colonel Allensworth State Park. In 1908 a group of Black Americans led by Colonel Allen Allensworth founded a town that would combine pride of ownership, equality of opportunity, and high ideals. There, literally in the town of Allensworth, literally in town's "Mary Dickinson" Memorial Library. creating a video for our "Underground Railroad" that has become our number one (#1) outreach to Black Pastors. However, while we were in the town of Allensworth, the state of California required everyone "Shelter In Place."
February 2020 opened up with Lori and I celebrating Frederick Douglass's 202nd (February 14th, 1818) birthday by traveling to Houston, Texas and Glendale, Arizona speaking at the Content of Character Series conferences. We finished the month of February on radio with Bobby Gunther Walsh addressing Black American Life Versus Black American Death In New York City.
On Friday, January, 24th at Frank Ogawa Plaza, in front of Oakland City Hall, we held our 13th Annual StandUp4Life Rally|Walk in downtown Oakland, California.
We walk because abortion in the Black community is a form of genocide, it is the Darfur of America. We walk because abortion in Black America is the Civil Rights issue of our day. We walk because abortion does violence, both physically and emotionally, to men and women, to their children, and to their families.
January 2020 is starting off with a bang!Yeah, we've got our own television show!!This is the first television show to address the impact of abortion in Black America.

2019
December 2019 opened up with Lori and I remembering Khya Polk's Funeral. To learn more about Khya and her mother Stephanie Spidell's decision to give Khya life, click here. Next, Lori and I released our eighth (8th) TruthPR Press release addressing the current data, from the abortion industry itself, revealing the impact of abortion in Black America. In our December release "We Charged Abortion In Black America Is Genocide!!". This particular release addressed the United Nations Thursday, December 9th, 1948's "Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide" in light of the Armenian Genocide (1914-1923) which took the lives of 1.5 million Armenians, the Jewish Holocaust (1941-1945) which took the lives of over six (6) million Jew and the lives of over twenty-two (22) million Black Americans lost to abortion alone today. I was asked to address this nationwide on the Josh Tolley Show. The work never stops. During this month (December 2019), the White House invited Lori and I to participate in their "Faith Leaders" meetings addressing the President Trump’s "Executive Order" (EO) on "Combatting Anti-Semitism" and his administration's priorities regarding our religious liberties. We were honored to do so. As December 2019 was coming to an end, Lori and I celebrated Christmas with the Walk for Life West Coast team and prepared for our busiest month of the year January 2020. Before close the 2019, I want to thank Artist Heather Collins for honoring the members of the National Black Pro-Life Coalition in her "Defenders Of Life And Justice In Christ Founders" collection.
November 2019 kicked off with Walter and Lori presenting at the Calvary Chape in Oxnard, California and at the South Bay Community Church in Fremont, California for the Content of Character Series™. The Content of Character Series (COCS) is an educational summit that offers an array of transformational and educational programs with a Biblical worldview via well-known speakers for events and conferences. At the COCS Walter addresses "Black American History" and Lori presents the truth about "Black Genocide" in America.

Walter and Lori then supported the Frederick Douglass Foundation and NorthStar Political Action Committee's Trump 2020 "Lets Do It Again" fundraiser featuring Katrina Pierson, Senior Advisor|National Spokesperson for the Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign. WOW! September ended with a trip to Washington, D.C. to attend the CURE National Policy Summit. August began with the celebration of the Friday, August 2nd, 1776 signing of the United States Declaration of Independence. With the Widaman Communication's "Metro Voice" publishing Walter's "Abortion Worse Than Homicides" article, the "Tim Tapp Radio Show" host Tim Tapp interviewed Walter. Right after the radio show, Walter and Lori flew to God's Learning Channel Television (TV) station in Odessa, Texas to God's Learning Channel Television (TV) station in Odessa, Texas to record two (2) Pro-Life episodes on "The Light Of The Southwest" television show. After Texas Walter was interviewed by the Bott Radio station's radio show host Andrew Yates. Days later Walter preached at the Reformed Heritage Church in Los Gatos, California. August ended with Bobby Gunther, host of the Walsh Bobby Gunther Radio Show interviewing Walter about his August "TruthPR" Press Release: "Black Abortions Kills More Black Americans Than Black Homicides 42 to 1". A busy July 2019 ended with Walter and Lori traveling to Thousand Oaks, California (on a train) to present the latest data regarding the crippling impact of "Abortion In Black America" at Godspeak Calvary Chapel. The presentation was a game changer as it dealt with the data from the abortion industry itself (these are the facts the abortion industry is willing to admit to), in light of the four (4) specific reasons: "Why Black Leadership Rejects The Pro-Life Movement". In the middle of July of 2019 our YouTube Channelreached ten thousand (10k) subscribers! During this month we appeared on EWTN's live show "At Home with Jim & Joy" in Birmingham, Alabama, conferencee with White Houe Faith leaders, the Ruth Institute, the Obria National Advisory Board and did six (6) radio interviews. Yeah, we're exhausted. In June 0f 2019, Walter and Lori traveled to Washington, D.C. to take part in a brand new Pro-Life documentary with Benjamin Watson, a tight end for the National Football League's New England Patriots. Later on Walter and Lori were keynote presenters in San Diego Content of Characters Series.

The God Speaks Calvary Chapel is pastored by Rob McCoy. There Walter preached fron 1st John 5:5 on the subject of "Irreversibility!". In May 2019, Walter and Lori traveled to the Poconos to help raise money for the Pregnancy Resource Center of the Poconos in East Stroudsburg Philadelphia and strengthen their outreach into the Black community. Saundra Woods is a volunteer for the Pregnancy Resource Center of the Poconos. After meeting with Walter and Lori, Saundra put her personal testimony on video. Click here to watch Saundra's powerful video. In April 2019 we conferenced with the national leadership for the Douglass Leadership Institute and prepared for their Sacramento Advocacy Day in the State Capitol regarding the amendment of AB1510. You can read out letter to the California's legislators here. March 2019 was all about promoting Abby Johnson's movie: "UnPlanned" which opened in theatres across the country this month. As one of the youngest Planned Parenthood clinic directors in the nation, Abby Johnson was involved in upwards of 22,000 abortions and counseled countless women on their reproductive choices. Abby's passion surrounding a woman's right to choose led her to become a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood, fighting to enact legislation for the cause she so deeply believed in. Until the day she saw something that changed everything.
What Abby saw changed everything. Walter and Lori traveled to Hollywood, California for the movie's red carpet premiere. This movie is a game changer for the Pro-Life movement. To see Walter and Lori's UnPlanned movie interview in Los Angeles, click here. February 2019 was all about Black History from a Pro-Life perspective. So Walter and Lori focused on their modern-day version of the "Underground Railroad". Since its very, very successful (i.e., God exceeded our expectations!) inauguration in 2017, this modern-day version of the “Underground Railroad" has become the Pro-Life movement's premier strategy to reach Black Pastors nationwide with a biblically based Pro-Life message and give them the necessary tools to advocate for life in their communities. To date, the program has been most successful in educating and training these leaders within the Black-American community as to the uniqueness of abortion issues within the Black community. Arthur Goldberg, Co-Director of the American based Jewish Institute for Global Awareness (JIFGA) and former Co-Director of JONAH, Inc., has graciously stepped in to help fund this project. to learn more and help fund this project. To learn more, click here. January 2019 marks the fifty-second (52nd) year of legalized abortion on demand in America since 1967. Since 1967, over twenty-one (21) million Black American babies have been killed by abortion. That's over 420,000 Black American babies aborted per year. To put this in perspective, it took the Klu Klux Klan(a white supremacist hate group)eighty-six (86) years to lynch 3,446 Black Americans. With this in mind, Walter flew to Memphis, Tennessee to meet with the Board of the Morning Center. The Morning Center exists to partner with the local Church to provide prenatal through postpartum care to moms in need, in the name of Jesus Christ. Then Walter and Lori flew to Washington, D.C. to help Black American Pro-Lifers move from "Education to Activation". After Washington, D.C., Walter and Lori flew to Rochester, New York to help the Frederick Douglass Foundation of New York reach deeper into the "Community of Color" with the Pro-Life message. On January 15th, 2019, the Issues4Life Foundation hosted its second (2nd) annual "Martin Luther King, Jr." webcast, its twelfth (12th) annual Walk for Life in Oakland, California and Walter spoke at the fifteenth (15th) annual Walk for LIfe West Coast in San Francisco.

In November 2018, the book "Black and Pro-Life In America" came out. The book details Walter and Lori's sacrifice for the lives of women and children facing abortion in Oakland, California. In October 2018, Walter and Lori traveled to the mountains of Crestline, California to support the Mountain Pregnancy Center. There plans were being made to reach a community with a full service medical team offering prenatal care. In September 2018, Walter was deeply involved in the Pro-Life movement's fight to secure Judge Brett Kavanaugh's United States Supreme Court nomination. Updates directly from Senior White House officials provided information that greatly strengthened Walter's outreach to Black American leadership. September was a busy month.

In July of 2018 Walter addressed Napa Institute Conference in a panel discussion on how the Catholic Church can better reach Black Americans in light of the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Then Walter talked about the number one (#1) crisis facing Black Americans at the 21st Annual Survivors Pro-Life Training Camp for youth in the Pro-Life movement. June of 2018 was very busy. Walter traveled to Macon, Georgia to rally the Pro-Life movement against an abortion facility that quietly obtained permission to open a clinic in Macon. Then Walter and Lori quickly traveled to San Diego, California where he addressed Black American History and Lori addressed the impact of abortion in Black America with California's Republican candidate for Governor John Cox. Next Walter traveled to Fresno, California to speak at the Central Valley's Republican Womens meeting to talk about why thirteen percent (13%) of Black American men voted for President Donald J. Trump. In April and May, Walter focused on augmenting the security of his online presence as Denial-Of-Service (DDOS) attacks were mounting against this website. March 2018 opened with the Larkspur Landing Conference, where Walter and Lori took the time to review the heart of the Issues4Life Foundation mission and prepare for the March for Life New York Radio Show. On the 13th of February we attended a White House reception in honor of National African American History Month with President Donald J. Trump. This year's theme, "African Americans in Times of War," called our attention to the heroic contributions of African Americans during our Nation's military conflicts, from the Revolutionary War to present-day operations. This invitation honors my Dad who served in the United States Air Force as a solider in the all Black Squadron 3728, Flight 3063 stationed at the Lackland Air Force Base. For those who don't know the history, in June 1949, Lackland began the integration of Black Airmen into regular units with whites. The "Indoctrination Division" began assigning recruits to squadrons and flights by sex and time of arrival only, thus ending racial segregation in the Air Force basic training program. Despite predictions of dire trouble, this change proceeded with relatively few issues. Both my Dad and my Mom are with the Lord now. I still talk with them and feel their love. As you can imagine, for Walter and Lori, the ministry only got busier after being invited to the White House. Next they traveled to San Diego, where their fundraiser was held in the private home of one of their supporters in Rancho Santa Fe. Then they concluded the month of February with Women VIPs (Volunteers In Politics), a group founder in 1973, that understands dedicated, enthusiastic volunteers are the most important asset of any political campaign. Still in February 2018, Lori and I partnered with the "Everlasting Light Ministries" and the "No Longer Bound" Abortion Recovery ministries and launched our #LifeLongRegretIsReal Abortion Recovery Video Series. The videos in this series are meant to be used within a safe counseling context with the intent of aiding an open, honest and intimate discussion on the subject of abortion regret. The goal of the video series is to help reclaim the lives of those that regret their abortion decision. In January of 2018, after thirty-three (33) years of service, the Family Planning Specialists Medical Group is closed. Today, the Family Planning Specialists Medical Group is a former abortion clinic. This is the abortion clinic that conspired with the Oakland City Council to created a law to have Walter arrested, tried, convicted and cruelly incarcerated. The diabolical plot worked. Walter indeed served time in jail. Ultimately, this case went all the way the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. To learn much more, click here. Still in January 2018, Walter and Lori launched the Black Pro-Life movement's first (1st) ever Webcast on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday.

To learn more about the conference, click here. In April of 2017, Walter and Alveda King teamed up in Detroit, Michigan to address the Black abortion rate exceeding the birth rate. A week later, Walter and Lori traveled to Bozeman, Montana to talk about "The Healing Power Of Forgiveness". In March Walter and Lori made two (2) "undercover trips" to Allensworth, California to work out last minute details and prepare video for their "Black Pastors and Wives" Conference.

In October of 2015, Walter and Lori flew to San Diego, California where they attended as honored guests at the Culture of Life Family Services (COLFS) Gala. In August of 2015, Walter and Lori attended the Californians for Life Summer Summit in Irvine, California. There Walter addressed the theme "Commemorating the 48th year of legalized abortion in California, June 14th, 1967".
In July of 2015, Walter and Lori flew back to Washington, D.C. to meet again with National Pro-Life Leaders and then fly to Chicago, Illinois where Walter spoke at the National Sidewalk Counseling Symposium. After speaking at the 2015 National Sidewalk Counseling Symposium at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare Hotel and Conference Center in Rosemont, Illinois, I visited Ashley Whitaker Harrell, Ph.D.'s church and met with the young Black women who pledge to remain sexually abstinent until God brought them a husband. Each of the young women had a story of how God touched their lives at a very, very deep level. I believe these stories should be and will be shared everywhere. In June of 2015, Walter and Lori drove to the "Future Conference" in La Mesa, California. There, Walter addressed the impact of abortion in Black America.
On the night of Thursday, June 18th, 2015, two (2) years, eleven (11) months and twenty-one (21) days after Walter's father died, Walter's mother, Vida Mae Hoye, died. Walter and Lori cancelled everything and just cried. Both of Walter' parents are living in heave now. To God be the glory. In May of 2015, Walter and Lori flew to Vancouver, Washington, where Walter spoke at Paul A. Bryne, M.D.'s Life Guardian Conference. The conference theme was "The Diabolical System of Imposing Death". Walter and Lori then turned right around and flew to Washington, D.C. to meet with National Pro-Life Leaders. In March of 2015, Walter and Lori
flew to Miami, Florida, where Walter spoke at the First annual Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll High School Walk for Life. Later in March of 2015, Walter and Lori traveled to Poway, California.

Below Walter was greeted, blessed and hugged by Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano.
Later that evening, Walter and Lori joined Alveda King, Kevin McGary, then President of the Frederick Douglass Foundation of California as speakers for the Solano Republican Central Committee. There Walter talked about "Lessons we can learn from the 2012 election that will serve us well in 2016." After updating this webpage in 2019, it turned out, Walter was prophetic. The lessons were indeed learned from 2012 and in 2016 Donald J. Trump was elected President of the United States of America. Based on exit polls, the Black vote shrank from a solid 95% for Barack Obama in 2008 to 88% for Hillary in 2016. Given a smaller total vote in 2016, that cost Hillary Clinton an estimated 1.3 million votes and added at least 775,000 Black votes for Donald Trump. This may seem like a small shift in Black voting patterns, but it is a significant one. If Hillary had just held onto those votes, she would have been the clear victor. Top

Yeah, we had a ball.
In September of 2014, Walter and Lori drove to Fresno, California to conduct their Cultural Proficiency Training (CPT). This is the only training in the country that provides the knowledge, skills, and attitudes and beliefs that enable people to work well with, respond effectively to, and be supportive of people in cross-cultural settings. It is important to note that as demographic change in communities across the country, the importance of staff training to enhance an organization's ability to deliver culturally appropriate messaging is undeniable.
