"Abortion is the hidden enemy of African Americans. It is the #1 reason for death in the black community..." -Corey and Jade Lee

(Washington, DC)—Atlanta minister Corey Lee and his wife Jade, who run a discipleship school called "The Well" and the ministry "Freedom Atlanta," is taking a team of 30 minority college students around the country to pray at African-American universities and churches for an end to abortion.

According to a Life News report, the Lee's team inform students that abortion is the No. 1 killer of black Americans and then go on to lead them in prayer and acts of compassion towards mothers.

The Lee's "Freedom's Cry" website states: "Abortion is the hidden enemy of African Americans. It is the #1 reason for death in the black community, trumping diseases such as HIV/AIDs and Diabetes. Due to abortion, the death rate is higher than the birth rate in our people group. Black women make up the largest numbers of abortions in the nation, even though we are only 14% of the population."

One of the team members posted this in their report: "We wear black life tape on behalf of the black babies who never receive the opportunity to have their first cry. We pray on their behalf in anticipation of ending of abortion in our nation. We prayed and marched out of Southern University wearing black life tape after singing, 'The Blood of Jesus' and 'We Shall Overcome.'"
