“The Civil Rights Movement was in full swing in 1959 and 1960. I was a part of the student sit-in movement of 1960 and 1961. I saw white Christian racism up close and “in my face” as a freshman and sophomore in college – all while pledging the fraternity of my father, Omega Psi Psi, and singing as a soloist in the traveling university choir, getting drunk for the first time in my life, and trying to sort out my call to ministry, God’s call upon my life, and the “honkies” I was growing to hate with each passing day. That was a turbulent time for me!”
