Rev. Wright Not Coming To Aiken As Originally Planned

By NBC Augusta Staff

Barack Obama's former pastor is not making a stop in Aiken after all.

NBC Augusta first told you about plans for the Rev. Jeremiah Wright to hold a revival this week at Second Baptist Church.

We have now learned because of a scheduling conflict, Wright will not be in town.

Obama has distanced himself from Wright because of statements the pastor made, the Senator called Wright's comments racially charged and divisive.
