excerpt - When he was a young pastor, he was troubled when other pastors wouldn't accept Jesus' simple teaching, which left no room for the prejudice and racism that was endemic to the time. Jesus' words were crystal-clear, and he never understood why others didn't or wouldn't see it. The Bible study was essential to the five pastors as it had been for his group in Mississippi. It gave the men something in common, a faith-based bond, and their time together built a sturdy bridge to friendship. Still, in the end, it was the communal prayer, five pastors praying for their people and their community, that Alston believed was vital, especially on this Monday, given recent events. They needed it, and so did he. 

On Thursday, the week before, President Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act outlawing discrimination based on race or color, sex, religion, or national origin; it also struck down discrimination in voter registration and segregation in schools, employment, and public accommodations. Everyone was ill at ease. Everyone feared an explosion of violence like what was breaking out all over the country.
