Growing Up In America's Segregated South: Reminiscences And Regrets, Mark R. Elliott
Growing Up In America's Segregated South: Reminiscences And Regrets, Mark R. Elliott
The Asbury Journal
In this personal essay, originally given as an address delivered at the Sakharov Center, a human rights NGO in Moscow, Russia, on June 2, 2017, the author contemplates a lifetime of experience in the Southern United States and the prejudices and racism that he saw during that time. He relates these experiences to similar issues in Russia today, adding a Christian plea for equality and fair treatment for all people by the Christian community, and also calling on the Church to stand in opposition to racism and anti-Semitism wherever it appears.
