The killing of Florida teen Trayvon Martin continues to galvanize his family and their supporters as his accused killer, George Zimmerman is granted bail. During a bond hearing on Friday, the Florida State’s Attorney presented evidence to back its 2^nd Degree Murder charge and to prevent Zimmerman from going free.

The hearing raised questions about what actually occurred the night Trayvon Martin was killed. But, what really happened? Well, a provocative short film reenacting the facts and theory of the killing has sparked a great deal of interest on YouTube and other social networking sites. Independent Film maker, Mike McMahon talked with ‘Community Voices’ host, Ron Holland, about his intriguing short film.  

The Urban Daily has compiled a list of some of our favorite gospel moments in film. Which one is your favorite?

Thanks to our friends at PraiseRichmond for sending this story over. When we received it we knew we had to share it since it was about our very own John P. Kee.

John P. Kee never seems to disappoint. Year after year the Stellar Award winner (who has taken home a phenomenal 21 of them) brings a fresh sound anchored by classic praise and worship tunes that stay with us long after the CD stops playing.

The “Prince of Gospel” is back this week with a brand new visual aid to help usher you into the presence of the Lord so check it out below if you haven’t been keeping up with the one and only John P. Kee.

If you hadn’t heard the official single “Life & Favor” featuring James Fortune and LeJuene Thompson, you’re in for a real treat as the song reflects on Paster John P. Kee’s testimony of living in the favor of God – one we all can identify with. So let us know what you think of the song and the video after viewing.
