Hamil HarrisWaPo Highlights Clergy 'Dismay' Over Obama Leaving ChurchIn the Washington Post's June 5 Prince George's County Extra insert, staffer Hamil Harris penned a story focused on how Barack Obama's decision to leave his controversial church "is not sitting well with some African American pastors and scholars in Prince George's County."
