This hurts my heart. I had no idea that this kind of thing happened. I have memories of my Dad preaching at black Churches when he was invited & me going with him. I guess, because I grew up in a family that was accepting & kind to all, I had no idea of the stuff that was going on, such as this.
Is it written out clear the actual cause for his rejection? I was on Lee Colkege campus from 1855 thru 60 n we had a variety of Africans and international students. To be dark skinned was not a reason for rejection. Too, look thru the files there were definate strong groups of self segregated churches in the northeast n Fla even had a white overseer who loved his people. Look at American history..Dont blame the CoG.
This pickin’ and negativity is nit a healthy atate. Thinking positively and seeing the good defies anger and sinning…
the majority of COG congregations are still self-segregated. Both black and white.
Henderson Wheeler was African American and not African – that was a big difference to the school prior to the mid sixties.
Most all the COG was pro segregation up to the 60s
This is what we need to know
