Five Presidential Hopefuls To Attend The Faith-Based Youth Leadership Conference In Atlanta

Five Democratic presidential candidates, 5,000 black millennials, and church leaders from around the country are in Atlanta this week for the Young Leaders Conference.

They’ll cover everything from diversity in politics to gun violence, mass incarceration and immigration. 

U.S. Sen. Cory Booker, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro will speak at the event Friday. U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders will share the stage Saturday at the Georgia International Convention Center.

Atlanta-based minister Mark Moore Jr. is the founder and host of the conference. He sat down with GPB's Leah Fleming to preview the event, and discuss the relationship between politics and the black church.
