King's vision ignored in hate crusade
By RUDOLPH P. BYRD, NATHAN McCALL
Published on: 12/19/04
Last Week, Bishop Eddie Long - flanked by the Rev. Bernice King - led a
strange and misguided demonstration that has left many in the Atlanta area
shocked, angered and mystified. Using the King Center as his launching pad,
Long, the flamboyant leader of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, led
thousands in a march against the civil rights of gays and lesbians.
Long characterized the march as a demonstration in support of family values.
But it may well stand as the first time in memory that black people,
marching under the banner of civil rights, have essentially campaigned
against ourselves.
