Hezekiah Walker Ushers in a Cool Celebration to Beat the Heat at Wawa Welcome America

In celebration of Simon PR’s engagement with the City of Philadelphia on behalf of the 2010 Wawa Welcome America Festival, for the next week, Philly P.I. will be showcasing positive images from the enormous, free 11 day 4th of July Festival.

Yesterday the photographer was up close and personal with the “pastor of hip hop” Hezekiah Walker and his Love Fellowship Crusade Choir. Here Hezekiah Walker inspires the audience with his “Raise the Praise” concert at Penn’s Landing as part of Welcome America’s “Taste of Philadelphia,” which ran from Friday through Sunday. Hezekiah combined with the heat and humidity made this the hottest crowd in America.
