Book Reviews of The Deacons for Defense and Justice: Defenders of the African American Community in Bogalusa, Louisiana During the 1960's

Book Review: A Lion's View: A Womb That Gave Birth to a Movement
Summary: 5 Stars

A compelling and provocative look into the womb that gave birth to a radical movement of bravery during turbulent times. The prophet of peace as he was the advocate for the non-voilent movement, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, was a paralleling reminder that peace does not mean absence of conflict.

The Deacons for Defense and Justice were a reminder that the kingdom of God suffers much violence, but the violent take it back by force (or by any means necessary). While voilence is never an advocacy for peace, in times of oppression to defend a home, a community or a nation taking up arms is the route to that peace. Just ask the founders of this nation. The Boston tea party was not served with dessert. It was best served with revolt.

Dr. Gray's look into that womb had to be ordained by God to give revelation of what can and did indeed happen to the people of Bogalusa, LA who were oppressed by racism and the violence that evil had given its birth from the womb of hatred.

As a man of God, Dr. Gray's portrayal of the events were bold and courages. He was not afraid to step down from his pulpit and embrace the reality of the African-American community. He told the story! He gave the Deacons a place in history that all spirited human beings can find revelation in truth and spirit...
