Rooftop Revelations: Pastor Brooks' son discusses the hardships of growing up on Chicago's South Side
Fox News
Pastor Corey Brooks and his youngest son, Cobe, discuss what it was like growing up on the South Side of Chicago.
On the 45th day of his 100-day rooftop vigil to raise funds for a community center designed to transform the lives of local residents, the pastor met with his youngest son, Corey "Cobe" Brooks, a sophomore majoring in business and economics at Morehouse College. As the campfire burned brightly, the pastor asked his son, "How tough is growing up in this neighborhood?"
"I would say it was kind of very tough growing up in this neighborhood because there is not a lot of opportunity," Cobe said. "Besides the church, there’s no real opportunity … There’s nowhere for them to go work on homework or work on their craft or whatever they’re good at."
