Kelvin J. Cochran, former Atlanta fire chief and U.S. Fire Administrator under Obama, rose from poverty in Shreveport through hard work, discipline, and faith. He was fired in 2015 for a private Christian men’s Bible study book affirming biblical views on faith, marriage, and family.
Cochran’s case highlights whether Americans—especially Christians—can live their convictions without punishment. Cochran refused to stay silent.
The Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE), founded in 1995, fights poverty through faith, freedom, and personal responsibility. Government creates dependency; real renewal comes from strong families, churches, and moral foundations. At CURE America we equip viewers to see cultural and political issues through a biblical lens and stand for truth when faith is tested.
