The Bishop 5+1 revival began in 1992 as an event featuring five ministers who attended Bishop College plus one guest speaker. Paul Quinn is located on the former campus of Bishop College. A fundraiser for Paul Quinn, the event raised $216,000 and attracted more than 13,000 people in 2009.
“I’ve described Bishop 5+1 as something that may very well be the defining philanthropic event in the history of Dallas’ black community and I still feel that way,” said Michael Sorrell, Esq., president of Paul Quinn College. “It’s great to be a part of the 20th anniversary celebration of the event, because it does so much to bring people in our community who believe in Paul Quinn College together.”
