Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich joined Pastor Corey Brooks in his camp-out for a new Woodlawn community center during Chicago's winter storm.
CHICAGO -- Pastor Corey Brooks had a familiar face keeping him company during Wednesday's snow storm.
Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich joined him on top of a shipping container in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood. Brooks has been camped out, planning to stay there for 100 days, to raise money for a new community center. "If I can just do a little bit to raise awareness and consciousness to encourage people to take their checkbook and pen out and look in to their hearts and write a little check to the pastor, that adds up," Blagojevich said.
