Bucking Beck! Rev. Clinton Miller believes in social justice
The Brooklyn Paper
Rev. Clinton Miller celebrates his ninth year at the head of an historic Clinton Hill church this week, but his reputation precedes him.
The 42-year-old Brooklyn-born ministry man has been an outspoken figurehead at the Brown Memorial Baptist Church for both the borough’s African-American and church communities — lecturing in some arenas as a politician, but mostly as a conduit for the good word.
...But the Yale Divinity School graduate’s political voice is an influential one — he was sought after for his word on the Obama vote, courted the then-campaigning Hillary Clinton at a rally to honor Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., and has even taken a leadership role against the Atlantic Yards project. He said on Sunday that he wants his community to have access to affordable housing rather than a new Nets stadium, but noted the importance of the jobs that the project would create.
