Tulloss takes over ministry at Weller Street

Sixty four years ago Weller Street Missionary Baptist Church was in the midst of one of the oldest African American communities in Los Angeles.

Today, however the demographics around the Boyle Heights church have changed tremendously leaving the religious institution, with its approximately 100 active members, a bit adrift. But if Rev. K.W. Tulloss is successful with his rejuvenation efforts, that stagnation will be nothing but a memory.

Ted Kefalinos

 New York, NY -- Images of President Barack Obama have been cropping up everywhere–on T-shirts, jackets, and even cookies.

A New York baker, Ted Kefalinos, got a little carried away when he started baking what he called “Drunken Negro Face Cookies” in honor of the new commander in chief.

But the cookies have caused a firestorm of protest and media backlash and Kefalinos, whose bakery is based in Greenwich Village, was forced to stop baking the cookies and apologize for his culinary idea.
