ROCK HILL, SOUTH CAROLINA - Presidential candidate Marianne Williamson will make an
Oct. 28 campaign stop at Winthrop University along with singer Michelle Williams and radio personality Charlamagne Tha God.

Child. Charlamagne Tha God is a nationally syndicated radio show host, television
personality and author.
