WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - Saturday, Impact Network President and CEO, Bishop Wayne T. Jackson, will interview Republican Presidential Candidate Donald J. Trump at Great Faith Ministries in Detroit, Michigan.
Impact Network is the only African American-owned and operated national Christian television network in the United States.
Trump will answer questions that are relevant to the African American community such as education (including HBCUs), unemployment, 'making our streets safe', and creating better opportunities for all, the Trump Campaign said in a statement from Pastor Mark Burns, who set up a meeting between Trump and Jackson.
He will outline policies that will impact minorities and the disenfranchised in the US. 'Citizens around the country will see, as I've have seen, the heart and compassion Mr. Trump has for all Americans, which includes minority communities whose votes have been taken for granted for far too long,' said Pastor Burns.
Ahead of the weekend interview, trump is set to make a major speech on illegal immigration on Wednesday in Arizona.
Separately, in a statement marking the 53rd anniversary of The March On Washington, Trump called on leaders in the United States to work to ensure safety, prosperity, equality and peace.
