Many of you have heard Councilwoman Sexton Smith tell the story of the West Louisville Boys and Girls Choirs. Pictured here is Mr. and Mrs. Cormac Parker Jr. along with Tenoramentae Young, two of the longest standing members of the choir.
She met Cormac when he was 8 years old and she met Tenoramentae when he was 19. Both young men thank you and everyone in Louisville who believed in them when they were too young to understand the beautiful life before them if they decided to make it so. They performed during worship service at Burnett Avenue Baptist Church on June 23rd.
Meet our family!
