Pastor Donald T. Eason, president of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE), shares his Detroit roots and confronts why decades of massive federal spending have failed to transform urban America. With honesty and insight, he examines persistent challenges — rising single-parent households, fatherless homes, teen unemployment, and a 18.4 percent black poverty rate in 2024 — while presenting a more effective path forward.
As president of CURE, Washington, D.C.’s unique Judeo-Christian think tank, Pastor Eason champions faith, family, freedom, personal responsibility, and opportunity. Highlighting school choice, the impact of abortion on black communities, and the acclaimed book “The State of Black Progress,” Pastor Eason advocates the Success Sequence and a revival of trades and manufacturing.
This compelling episode makes a powerful case: true urban renewal comes not from more government programs, but from faith, hard work, strong families, and personal responsibility.
