Jesse Lee Peterson to appear on 'Kelly File'

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson

As the nation reels from widespread violence against police officers, the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson will appear on "The Kelly File" with Megyn Kelly on The Fox News Channel to take on Black Lives Matter.

The show will air Monday night at 6 p.m. Pacific time/9 p.m. Eastern.

Peterson, a WND columnist and the author of "The Antidote: Healing America from the Poison of Hate, Blame and Victimhood," has been working on the ground in the black community as the founder and president of the civil rights organization BOND.

He's been a fierce critic of the Black Lives Matter movement, which he has termed a "hate group."

Peterson has aggressively challenged the frame of black victimization he says has been promoted by President Barack Obama and the mainstream media. However, he also slammed the "guilt" and "cowardice" of white Americans in his latest column, condemning politicians such as Newt Gingrich for accepting a "lie" of massive anti-black discrimination.

In contrast, Peterson's philosophy, as exemplified by his work with BOND, focuses on "rebuilding the family by rebuilding the man." He urges black Americans to move a narrative of white oppression and emphasizes personal responsibility. Peterson is also a critic of activists such as Jesse Jackson and the Rev. Al Sharpton, accusing them of perpetuating a “scam” on the black community.

The fight between officers and blacks has been fatal in several cases – one in New Orleans and another in Minnesota just recently.

His appearance is part of a special on those concerns about police – and race.

In addition to his WND writing, he has appeared as a media commentator of Fox News, CNN and other networks, and is an author.

His group has worked for 27 years to offer counseling, hold weekly services, a monthly "Men's Forum" and annual conferences.

He grew up near Tuskegee, Alabama, in the Jim Crow era, and participated in the "civil rights" movement.
