Pause For Thought
From Leslie Griffiths, Methodist Minister:
Μύ
Selma, a much heralded film, goes on public release this Friday and I can’t wait to see it. The film coincides with the fiftieth anniversary of the last great Civil Rights march in the United States, the culmination of the campaign for voting rights for African Americans. The film has been nominated for Oscars but, sadly, David Oleyawo (who plays Martin Luther King) hasn’t. Selma was a very big moment in recent American history.
Μύ
Ten years ago, I visited Selma with a group of American Senators and Congressmen. It was the fortieth anniversary. We advanced solemnly towards the Edmund Pettus Bridge. From the hump of the bridge we saw the lie of the land, empty now, but in 1965 filled with mounted police carrying tear gas or clubs, and fierce dogs waiting to do their savage work. I was arm in arm with Fred Shuttlesworth and John Lewis who’d led the original march. John Lewis’s skull was cracked with a vicious blow to the head yet here he was, still alive, still passionate for his cause. Fred Shuttlesworth and his family had braved attacks on their lives by the Ku Klux Klan and others and been thrown into jail endless times. The carnage of that day was seen on television by tens of millions of people; it led President Johnson to bring forward the voting legislation being asked for. It was an awesome moment. Thousands of people, black and white, Christians and Jews, knelt to pray before advancing quietly and peacefully over that bridge. They were met by hate-filled and violent opponents. Good won its battle with evil; love prevailed over hatred; justice flowed down like a river. And that’s my deepest prayer for this film – that as well as telling its story, touching our hearts, it might have the power to challenge our instinctual readiness to solve our problems through the use of force.Broadcast
