The clarion trumpets are blaring throughout the land -- "How dare a BLACK Pastor speak out against the Treyvon Martin, "White on Black" travesty, condemning the black victim!"
Read about Dr. James Manning's background, education and experience and see what your assessment is after you review his sermon video. He candidly and boldly exposes the press-hype, bigotry, racism, denial and retribution that is righteously deserved and biblically meted out according to his theological philosophy.
Dr. James Manning is chief pastor at the ATLAH World Missionary Church on 123rd Street in New York City. Manning grew up in Red Springs, North Carolina, born to an African American family, and has been at ATLAH since 1981. ATLAH stands for All The Land Anointed Holy, which is Manning's name for Harlem.
His congregation, "ATLAH Worldwide Missionary Church" is the former Bethelite Missionary Baptist Church. The church is also the site of the ATLAH Theological Seminary, which offers classes on preaching and prophecy.

Source Bio: Pastor Manning grew up outside the town of Red Springs, North Carolina, which was then segregated. He picked cotton and tobacco as a boy, and took a bus to New York the day he graduated from high school. He became radicalized in the 1960s and said he was driven by his hatred of white people.
As a younger man, Manning burgled homes, mostly on Long Island. Between 1969 and 1974, he said, he broke into as many as 100 houses, and once threatened an associate with a loaded shotgun. He spent about three and a half years in prison in New York and Florida for burglary, robbery, larceny, criminal possession of a weapon, and other charges before his release in 1978. While in prison, he became a devout Christian. Manning has said that his past life of crime and then incarceration have helped to shape his wider perspective upon life, and that he doesn't shy away from discussing it.
Beginning study in 1982, Manning graduated from Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York where he was awarded a Master of Divinity in 1985. During his graduate studies, Manning went on a religious study tour to Latin America, and later to Africa. Manning also holds a Doctor of Philosophy degree.
In his theological group study tour of Africa in 1985, Manning visited both Liberia in West Africa, founded by former African-American slaves, and apartheid-era South Africa. Manning met his future wife on the tour, as well as the US ambassador to Liberia Bill Swing, South African F. W. de Klerk, and Bishop Desmond Tutu. Manning has said that his visit to Africa had an influence on his views about race. Manning has said that his witnessing of black societies other than African-Americans influenced his views on the wider nature of black people. Pastor Manning has denounced the influence of Charles Rangel, Al Sharpton, Cornel West and Jay-Z.
