Question

Answer 1

Ignore the glory hounds like Jesse Jackson and zero in on martyrs like Medger Evers.  He was willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice and endure all because it was the Christian thing to do, and that it was a need. He gets little attention for his stand out of his faith. Read about him and you'll develop a deep, abiding respect for true, sacrificial leadership in the Civil Rights movement.
