blue bits. red rocks.

Let’s be clear about what this means. In the 1950s, Jerry Falwell was a mature, fully grown man. He had had the time to think things through and develop his own opinions. He was the pastor of a megachurch. And Jerry Falwell stated explicitly that it was God’s will for black children to be treated worse than white children. It was God’s will for black children to get less education than white children. It was God’s will for black children to attend dilapidated, crowded schools while white children attended new schools. It was God’s will for black children to use outdated and worn textbooks after the white children finished with them and got their shiny new ones. It was God’s will for black children to have less opportunity in life. This is what Jerry Falwell believed in 1958. Jesse Curtis
