The black church of Martin Luther King, Jr.
The black church of Charles K. Steele and Fred L. Shuttlesworth and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. The black church of Rosa Parks and Ralph Abernathy. The black church of Denise McNair, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson, and Addie Mae Collins who were killed while attending Sunday School when a bomb exploded at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church on Sept. 15, 1963. The black church of James Meredith, Emmet Till, and the Little Rock Nine. The black church of Maya Angelou and W.E.B. Dubois. The black church of Medgar Evers and Thurgood Marshall.
But that black church is long gone now.
I find it curious that, in my Christian experience, the black Christian community is often the demographic least like Christ. We are so very quick to anger. We are so thin-skinned. A people of toes perpetually stepped on. Of all the people in the world, we seem to forgive each other the least.
