Black Lives Matter
As a black man in the U.S., it should come as no surprise that Preacher is supportive of the Black Lives Matter movement and has protested in the past for justice and equality.
“#BlackLivesMatter Definitely one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had. I got chills from the amount of support. There were hundreds of people of all races. Majority being white people, which speaks volumes. It was nothing like most of the media portrays it to be. The cops were super nice and thanked us. Everyone was honking, wooing, waving, and some old lady said I was fine. Great day! [sic]”
Preacher Lawson’s Tour
Whether Preacher wins or not, fans will get a chance to see him on his comedy tour, starting from September 22 to February 9, 2018. All the information is available on his website and he’s also available for bookings.
