Those people who fought along side Dr. King for civil rights and especially those others who died for that cause have a legacy, too. If you didn't experience what they experienced by segregation and worse, then there is no real way you can understand completely their feelings for Dr. King.
When I started attending a Oneness church, the pastor didn't even want us to invite black people to church and sure didn't want them to attend. I credited it to ignorance and his having been brought up in the deep south where that teaching was so pervasive. I wonder how God looks at it when people continue with prejudices and discrimination?...I'm not being accusatory of anyone here. Just wondering and heading to walk....
