I know they were cowards because they were wearing sheets. I am stating on this broadcast today if any of you black folks want to be baptized in Jesus Name I will be glad to baptize you. BY the way you fellers in sheets come right on we are ready for you." One night a cross was burned in front of the church and some members almost caught the guys they shot at them anyway. They never came back. Bro. Martin went several broadcasts mocking them. The owner of the station got afraid and begged him to stop. He stopped when he got ready. This was in the 50's in Mississippi.
Yes that MS. alright.
