Oakwoodites' presence during Presidential Inauguration activities
Wintley Phipps (Oakwood, class of 1976), founder of the U.S. Dream Academy, award-winning vocalist and pastor, is scheduled as a featured soloist for the Presidential Inaugural Prayer Service at the National Cathedral, Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, January 22, at 10:30 a.m.
President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, interfaith leaders and other dignitaries will attend. The service will be webcast live at www.nationalcathedral.org.
While we congratulate Wintley for this esteemed second consecutive invitation, he's not the only Oakwoodite scheduled to witness, or participate in, inauguration weekend activities.
Five current Oakwood students -- Julia Phipps (lead), Stephanie Campbell, Temar Ellis, David McNair and Andrews Sellers -- will be chaperoning a group of 14 boys and girls from the John McClure Snook Youth Club in Foley, Alabama. Read how al.com reporter Carol McPhail describes their story here:
