It was so interesting to hear part of Rev. Graetz testimony at church today. Rev. Graetz was one of the white pastors of a black Lutheran church here in Montgomery during the Montgomery bus boycott. His family was ostracized by the white community, their car tires were slashed, and his family home was bombed 3 times. One 2 bombs went off. "The one that did not go off has 11 sticks of dynamite and a container of TNT, so it would have killed all of us and probably a number of our neighbors. The Lord didn't let that one go off." Rev. Graetz and his wife, Jeannie, have recently moved back to the Montgomery area and is working with ASU. It was such a privilege to hear him.
History is alive, but we have to listen!
