FERGUSON, Mo. (The St. Louis Post-Dispatch)—Ferguson is testing the civil rights legacy of famed televangelist Billy Graham.
In a region still roiled by the death of African-American teenager Michael Brown and a recent U.S. Department of Justice report that found a pattern of racial bias among police, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, an organization based in Charlotte, N.C. and headed by son Franklin Graham, is attempting to make a difference.
An emergency team of the ministry’s chaplains has already made two stops in Ferguson and is prepared to return at a moment’s notice.
Now, the project is taking the next step.
