Donald Trump will be at New Spirit Revival Center today for what is billed as a

convening the meeting, which will be taped live and Special Guest will be the GOP
Nominee for President, Donald Trump.
The event will be taped live beginning around 9:30am and is scheduled for broadcast tonight at 10pm. About 40 people who signed up are expected to be a part of the campaign event.

While Trump is inside, a
counter event will be held directly across the street from the church, which is
located at 3130 Mayfield Road, just east of Lee Road.
Several African American
elected officials are expected to hold a 10:30am press conference to ask Trump
to apologize for leading the birther movement,
widely condemned as an attempt to delegitimize the first black President of the
United States. State Senator Sandra Williams,
State Rep. Janine Boyd, and Cuyahoga County Councilman Anthony Hairston are
expected to speak.
New Spirit Church is led by
Pastor Darrell Scott, who delivered a fiery six-minute talk at the Republican
National Convention, held in Cleveland in July.
