More than 100 prominent Black clergy have signed a petition calling for a boycott of the Word Network after Kevin Adell, the network’s white owner and CEO, was accused of racial insensitivity.
The World Network is billed as “the largest, African-American religious network in the WORLD,” but the allegations being made against the CEO could threaten the viability of the network.
Bishop George Bloomer, Founder of the Bethel Family Worship Center spoke with Roland Martin about the calls for a boycott of the Word Network and why its CEO, Kevin Adell needs to address the claims of racial insensitivity.
