He’d become the eleventh Black Senator in United States history (viaThe New Yorker).
(Barack Obamawas the fifth.)
And he’s running on an unapologetically activist platform.
Warnock, however, didn’t grow up in suburbia.
His father, a World War II veteran, was a preacher.
(“Put on your shoes and get ready” is another of Warnock’scampaign slogans.)
That was when he was working as a peer counselor in the local health department.
Raphael Warnock is a follower of Martin Luther King Jr. ’s alma mater, Morehouse College.
There, he was giftedBest Black Sermons, which shaped his decision to apply to Morehouse.
Needless to say, as a father of two, he’ll have a full plate.
