There is a New York Times profile, several others in major magazines, and he is in a couple of biographical dictionaries that I have been able to find (subsequent to the deletion notice).  And he was apparently considered the heir apparent to Louis Farrakhan in the 1990s.--Pharos (talk) 02:56, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep a profile in the NYTimes (regional edition) Keeping the Faith, Differently; A Harlem Firebrand Quietly Returns to Christianity. the first NYTimes story mention him was in 1988  (University of Pennsylvania) Pennsylvania Students Exercise Restraint on Farrakhan Visit  this : " It's not about convincing, however, said Conrad Tillard, a black student and member of the Nation of Islam who helped organize the Farrakhan appearance. The restraint shown by whites, he said, represents a respect for our feelings and our wishes. As long as we can agree to disagree, that's the key. And that's what happened here..  Mr. Tillard and his group had considered the white response to the Farrakhan visit an acid test. On the basis of the response so far, he said, new progress on race relations is now possible.
