“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
Hebrews 111
There is one question people ask me more than any other. How did you do it? How did you hold to nonviolence when a pounding wall of vicious hate was pushing through you like waves of fire during the protests and sit-ins of the civil rights movement?
How was it possible to be cracked on the head with a night stick, left bleeding and unconscious on the trampled grass, and not raise your hand one time in self defense? How could you bear the clear hypocrisy of being arrested on trumped up charges and taken to jail for disturbing the peace when you were the one who was attacked and abused?
How could you survive the unanswered threats, the bombings, and murders of a lineage of people like Medgar Evers, Jim Lee Jackson, Andrew Goodman, James Cheney, and Michael Mickey Schwerner without holding any bitterness or anger?
The answer is simple. faith, faith has the power to deliver us all, even from the greatest harm.
