When I was about twelve or thirteen years old I heard my grandfather say, “The only good white man is a dead one.”
"When I gave my life to Jesus he started dealing with the fears I had. Other things started changing as well. And I found that what once was an object of hate became an object of compassion."
"My uncle said; Kill some white men before they kill us."
"Despite my story, despite my character, all they saw was this scary black guy."
"Do I shoot innocent little kids or do I rebel?"
"The best-built guy in the gym could easily be the most insecure person there."
To have Billy Graham come up after hippies played and preach to them was like a moment of truth. Like, well maybe if it’s okay with Billy, it’s okay with God.
