When Lutheran Church officials sent a young, white West Virginian to Montgomery, Alabama to serve as the pastor to an all-Black congregation in the summer of 1955, they could not have foreseen that he and his family would be thrust into a second American Revolution six months later. But Robert Graetz wasn’t unfamiliar with the relationship between race, religion, and racial discrimination in America, and when he and his young wife, Jeannie, and their two children moved into the Deep South, they were comfortable, happy, and soon welcomed into Montgomery’s Black community. Among the friends they made were Raymond and Rosa Parks, and when Rosa Parks’s arrest triggered the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Bob and Jeannie were some of the few white people who supported the first broad-based civil rights protest of the twentieth century. Although white domestic terrorists bombed the Graetz home twice and threatened Bob and Jeannie’s lives often, the Graetzes never wavered. Recounted in rich detail here, Bob’s time in Montgomery, including these harrowing experiences, shaped a long ministerial career that never failed to emphasize equality and justice issues. In addition to Graetz's boycott memoirs, A White Preacher’s Message on Race and Reconciliation also discusses the human and civil rights challenges we still face today.

Named One of the "Best Art Books of 2018" by the New York Times Fifty years after Martin Luther King Jr.'s death—and at a time when race relations and social justice are again at the forefront of our country's consciousness—this book expands on a Frist Art Museum exhibition to present a selection of approximately one hundred photographs that document an important period in Nashville's struggle for racial equality. The images were taken between 1957, the year that desegregation in public schools began, and 1968, when the National Guard was called in to surround the state capitol in the wake of the civil rights leader's assassination in Memphis. Of central significance are photographs of lunch counter sit-ins in early 1960, led by a group of students, including John Lewis (who contributed the book's foreword) and Diane Nash, from local historically black colleges and universities. The demonstrations were so successful that King stated just a few weeks later at Fisk University: "I did not come to Nashville to bring inspiration but to gain inspiration from the great movement that has taken place in this community." The role that Nashville played in the national civil rights movement as a hub for training students in nonviolent protest and as the first Southern city to integrate places of business is a story that warrants reexamination. The book also provides an opportunity to consider the role of images and the media in shaping public opinion, a relevant subject in today's news-saturated climate. Photographs from the archives of both daily newspapers are included: the Tennessean, which was the more liberal publication, and the Nashville Banner, a conservative paper whose leadership seemed less interested in covering events related to racial issues. Some of the photographs in the exhibition had been selected to be published in the papers, but many were not, and their disclosure reveals insight into the editorial process. In several images, other photojournalists and news crews are visible, serving as a reminder of the almost constant presence of the camera during these historic times. Essays by Linda Wynn of Fisk University and the Tennessee Historical Commission and Susan H. Edwards, executive director of the Frist Art Museum, offer historical context on Nashville during the civil rights era and on photojournalism, respectively. Congressman John Lewis's foreword recounts memories of his time in Nashville and reminds us that there is still work to be done to build King's Beloved Community.
