Warren County Prison Choir

Dr. Catherine Roma runs the music department at Wilmington College and coaches the UMOJA choir. This summer they will be competing in the World Choir Games in Cincinnati. While the choir is eager to compete, they won't be travelling down the road to Cincinnati for the games.That's because all of these choir members are behind bars at the Warren County Correctional Institution.

I’m so impressed! It’s been years since I sang in a choir, and this group can win, I pray they do!!! Thanks

Even locked up behind bars in the worst imaginable hell on earth, the human spirit comes to the fore and demands expression. Very moving story.

Psalm 1
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Good to see Tyrone got it together...that stint on Jeopardy! was his low point...

Not really fair, she was able to get most likely the largest group of black men of any group competing. if thats not an edge in singing, I don't know what is.

Fun Fact: UMOJA is the Swahili word for unity. Directly translated it would be oneness
