Obama's Chicago Pastor to perform at D.C.'s historic Florida Avenue Baptist Church


Jeremiah Wright speaks at the Detroit NAACP's 53rd annual Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner in Detroit, Sunday, April 27, 2008.D.C.'s historic Florida Avenue Baptist Church is marking its centennial with a special sermon on Sunday, delivered by President Barack Obama's former pastor, the controversialJeremiah Wright.
During the 2008 Obama campaign, the media dissected and lambasted Wright's former sermons, which included remarks that the Sept. 11 attacks were proof "America's chickens are coming home to roost," and another comment: "...not 'God Bless America.' God damn America."
When reached by phone, the church said it did not know what Wright's sermon would be about.
