A Brief But Spectacular take on how 'everybody is somebody'

When Cecil Williams was born 90 years ago, his mother instinctively knew he would become a preacher. As an adult, Cecil began working at a church in San Francisco's Tenderloin but was disappointed to see it turn people away, rather than welcome them. He set out to create a different kind of community. Williams shares his Brief But Spectacular take on humanity and how everybody is somebody.
